Principality Stadium roof to be OPEN

According to an announcement, the Principality Stadium roof will remain open for the upcoming Six Nations match between Wales and England this Saturday.

Typically, Wales prefers to have the roof closed during their matches, as it helps to create an intense atmosphere. However, in Six Nations fixtures, the opposing team has the right to decide, effectively giving them the first choice.

It seems that England has exercised their right to veto Wales' usual preference and has opted for the roof to remain open.

STATS:

Wales and England have contested a total of 138 rugby test matches since their first meeting in 1881. England have won 66 of those matches, whilst Wales have won 60 matches. There have also been 12 drawn matches between the two nations.

ENGLAND'S FOUR MOST DANGEROUS PLAYERS:

#1. Freddie Steward

Gatland said: " Freddie is exceptional in the air and I also really like the way he has been developing as a full-back. He offers an attacking threat, and scores tries."

#2. Ellis Genge

Gatland said: "He has matured with the captaincy at Leicester and his ball carrying is explosive and set-piece is very strong."

#3. Owen Farrell

Gatland said: "He’s a competitor, and what he’s achieved in the game, the success he has had speaks for itself."
