England and Wales will duke it out at Twickenham in Round 4 of the 2016 RBS Six Nations as a rematch of last year's World Cup collision promises to decide this year's title-winner.
Coach Warren Gatland leads an unbeaten Wales outfit to English headquarters, but Eddie Jones' England side boast a one-point advantage coming into their duel after winning all three of their matches with him in charge.
France are the only other nation in with a slim chance of winning the 2016 trophy, and they travel to Murrayfield for a meeting with Scotland, who are high on their first win of the tournament after beating Italy 36-20.

Six Nations Stalwarts Meet New Breed at Twickenham
Five months have passed since Wales sealed a 28-25 win at Twickenham to dash England's hopes of making it past the 2015 Rugby World Cup pool stage, but the dynamic of this fixture has shifted drastically since then.
Jones has been installed as Red Rose chief, and the initial signs look positive, with the jaded regime of predecessor Stuart Lancaster replaced by a new wave of up-and-coming Premiership stars.
Gatland's Wales team, by and large, have worked together for some years now, building a fluidity and familiarity that, while England may not yet possess, they make up for in irrepressible, up-and-coming talent.
That quality was evident in Saturday's 21-10 win over Ireland, after which Jones appeared to be in a prickly mood when asked about the performance of referee Wayne Barnes following several controversial decisions:
Nevertheless, England remain the only team in the tournament who are yet to drop a point, and the likes of Maro Itoje, Anthony Watson and Billy Vunipola are painting a pretty picture for the future.
But Wales will be only concerned with what's happening in the here and now, and last year's Twickenham-toppling squad remains capable of causing a stir in English territory during Round 4.
Scintillating Scotland Look to Down Noves' Bleus
Scotland coach Vern Cotter finally saw his team get off the mark on Saturday, when his side produced one of their most captivating displays in recent memory to trump the Azzurri 36-20 in Rome.
After tries from flankers John Barclay and John Hardie put the Scots ahead at the Stadio Olimpico, Cotter will perhaps have been most encouraged to see his men finish with a flourish as Tommy Seymour scored in the 78th minute:
But France will present a different task altogether, and after seeing the unbeaten run of coach Guy Noves come to an end at the hands of Wales, Les Bleus will be fired up to get back on the victory trail in Edinburgh.
Noves' appointment heralded the promise of a new, revitalised France, but the truth is they're still exhibiting hesitance in their play, and Welsh utility James Hook helped illustrate their issues, per BBC Scrum V:
There's a chance fit-again fly-half Francois Trinh-Duc will start at Murrayfield in place of Jules Plisson, a decision that's likely to improve their back-line operations considerably.
That being said, Scotland continue to showcase a great deal of attacking fervour under Cotter, and the Italy result will have put wind in their sails as they hope to make it two wins from two.
