It's almost time for the talking to stop as England and Wales prepare for the latest chapter in their great rugby rivalry.
The build-up has been fraught with turbulence. Injuries have depleted ranks on either side of the Severn and results have been a mixed bag.
But as the cliche goes, form goes out of the window in games like this.
England are red-hot favourites, but Wales have overcome the odds to triumph at Twickenham before.
Can they do it again? Here are the views of our rugby experts...
England a different animal at home - Simon Thomas
Well, England lost to Scotland and Wales beat the Scots, so it’s a done deal, isn’t it?
QED, it’s going to be a Welsh win!
Unfortunately, it doesn’t always work like that in sport.
For one thing, England are a very different animal at Twickenham. They seldom lose at home and, of course, Wales haven’t won a Six Nations match there for a decade.
Losing Manu Tuilagi is clearly a blow to Eddie Jones, who had been waxing lyrical about what the Sale centre would bring in terms of his power and ability to consistently cross the gain-line.
But with Alex Dombrandt, Harry Randall and Marcus Smith at 8, 9, 10, there is real attacking threat, while you can expect the hosts to come flying out of the blocks with Jones promising a fast start.
The return of skipper Courtney Lawes will add further physicality to a strong-looking pack and they have quality finishers in the likes of Youngs, Marler, George, Simmonds and Ford.
While it’s great to see Faletau back, Wales look a bit limited and prosaic in attack and you just sense England will have too much for them overall on home soil.

Wales attack still isn't delivering - Ben James
Welsh victories at Twickenham have become something of a rarity.
I've seen twice as many British prime ministers as I have witnessed Welsh victories at HQ. Which one I'm expecting to see next is another matter entirely.
Looking at the two sides named, it's hard to escape the notion that Wales are heading to Twickenham with a side built to grind out a victory - as was the case against Scotland.
I'm not sure that'll be enough.
Their attacking shape still isn't delivering, with a plan built on creating scoring chances around halfway just not working with a limited carrying game and no consistency in how they reach the edge.
Everything comes off 10, but it's hard to pinpoint exactly what Wales' attacking pattern is. Given these games against England have tended to result in high scores, you just don't see Wales having the firepower to match England if it becomes a shootout.
That said, England haven't clicked either in attack, but I think there's enough there to get out in front and stay there, particularly with a stronger bench.

Wales 'desperate' but just don't score tries- Matt Southcombe
Welsh wins at Twickenham have dried up in recent years and it's become something of a fortress for Eddie Jones' side.
The script has largely been the same for the defeats, too. Wales have too often been sluggish out of the traps, allowing England to dominate the opening exchanges, carve out a lead and hold onto it.
This is not lost on either camp as each has emphasised the need to start well this Saturday.
It'll be another big test for the front five who, despite their issues on the gainline, have operated smoothly at the set piece. That will need to continue but they will also require the momentum they were able to generate at times against Scotland.
The loss of Manu Tuilagi is significant for England because he is almost guaranteed to put any side on the front foot.
His absence gives Wales a chance but the likelihood of them grinding out a victory through Dan Biggar's right foot is slim. They have to score tries and they've not really looked likely all tournament.
That is the worry, whether or not they can cause England enough problems with the ball in hand.
A desperate Wales side will stay in the fight and if the hosts are going to come out on top, Wayne Pivac's side will make them win it three times over.
But desperate doesn't often get you far at a place like Twickenham.

The Tuilagi stat that offers some hope - Mark Orders
A psychic seal has predicted a win for Wales at Twickenham tomorrow, while a supercomputer is opting for England to take the spoils.
Let’s say it’s a tight one to call, then.
Manu Tuilagi’s withdrawal because of injury does help Wales’ chances. Even though the big man isn’t a great distributor or kicker out of hand, he is relentlessly physical and a player whose very presence intimidates others.
A stat this week noted that England hadn’t lost at Twickenham for 10 years with him in the side.
With him missing, Wales’ hopes of winning are significantly improved.
However, they’ll have to not just back up their performance against Scotland but improve on it.
Taulupe Faletau’s inclusion gives them more balance in the back row. It’s tough on Jac Morgan, who played so well against the Scots, but once Faletau became available, Wayne Pivac had to find room for him because he’s a world XV contender with vast experience and quality.
Wales’ front five need to carry the ball more. Take away Ryan Elias from their effort against Scotland and the other four front-five starters took the ball forward for just 10 metres between them.
They also need to show more creativity behind.
But so much depends on the speed of the ball they win and the foundations of Wales’ forward effort standing firm. Without a solid scrum and reliable line-out platform, Pivac’s chances of victory are greatly reduced.
There won’t be a lot in it this weekend and Wales can do themselves a favour by targeting Marcus Smith, but with the likes of Maro Itoje, Courtney Lawes, Luke Cowan-Dickie in their starting pack and Joe Marler, Jamie George and Sam Simmons on the bench, England may have the edge up front.
It’s a contest where the only certainty is the uncertainty, however.
