Record crowd expected as Wales prepare to host England

A record crowd awaits as Wales take on the might of England at the Principality Stadium on Saturday.

The Red Roses arrive in Cardiff as the number-one ranked team in the world, with last weekend's victory over Italy their 21st successive Test win.

Under John Mitchell and new captain Zoe Aldcroft, they are going for their seventh consecutive Six Nations title and a fourth consecutive Grand Slam.

Very few teams have dominated their sport in such a way.

In contrast, Wales are looking to return to form which saw them rise to sixth in the world just a couple of years ago.

They have a new coach in Sean Lynn, and while he was a proven winner at Gloucester-Hartpury, patience is needed as this is only his second week in the job.

Still there were enough green shoots of promise in the opening-round loss to Scotland to suggest Wales are a team on the up.

But they will need every ounce of home support if they are going to challenge England and repeat the heroics of the class of 2015.

More than 18,000 tickets have already been sold for the game, a record for a Welsh women's team event in Wales.

The previous best attendance was 10,592, when Wales hosted Italy in the 2024 Six Nations at the Principality Stadium.

But there is still a way to go to beat the record for a womens sporting event in Wales.

More than 31,000 turned out to watch Team GB womens football team beat Cameroon 3-0 at the Principality during the London 2012 Olympics.
