Rugby evening headlines as England internationals say Wales will get smashed and Rees-Zammit to play on Saturday

Your rugby evening headlines for Friday, February 25.

England World Cup winner Will Greenwood believes England will beat Wales comfortably at Twickenham.

Greenwood is predicting a 20-point home win as he backs the English to resist Wales' attempts to turn the match into an arm wrestle.

Writing in the Telegraph, he said: "Wales will draw England into a street fight. It’s their best chance. They don’t want this to be a game of sevens. England want it to be as fast as anything in front of the home crowd. Ball in play, let’s go.

"I think England will win comfortably. I really do. They’re good value in the 'market' to win by 20 points as well. It does not happen very often that’s why. I think they can. Do that, and they’re back in the Championship."

Elsewhere, former England international Andy Goode thinks England will coast to a win, even without Manu Tuilagi, as does Matt Dawson, who was speaking on Radio 5 Live.

Goode wrote in his RugbyPass column: "The conditions look set to be perfect and, while the absence of Tuilagi is a setback, England have the all-court game to beat Wales in different ways and I can see a comfortable 15-point victory for the home side."

Louis Rees-Zammit has been named on the bench for Gloucester's clash with Leicester Tigers on Saturday.

The young winger was the shock omission from the Wales squad to play England at Twickenham and was released back to his club because he wasn't involved in the matchday 23.

He doesn't make the Gloucester starting XV though after being away with Wales for much of the past month, but is expected to get game time in the second half.

It comes after Wayne Pivac explained why he's dropped him, amid claims from Eddie Jones that Rees-Zammit is not fit.
