The 2015 RBS 6 Nations will start with a bang on Friday when England return to the setting of their record defeat by Wales for the tournament opener.
England head coach Stuart Lancaster expects a hostile atmosphere but is confident the red rose can prevail.
"It doesn't get any better as a set-up to the Championship," he said. "It's an iconic rugby stadium and an iconic fixture. The history between the two countries in rugby is huge. To kick it off on a Friday night....makes it a big game.
"The odds for Friday are irrelevant to me. We played pretty much the same Welsh team last year and we definitely believe we can go to Cardiff and win."
For England to succeed in their task these are the battles on the pitch that will need to be won.
