Roof open for Wales-England Six Nations clash
By Peter Hanson
The roof at the Principality Stadium will be open for this weekend's Six Nations contest between Wales and England.
It is thought that Wales were keen for the roof to be closed to ensure pristine conditions that would allow for a better running game.
At first, England coach Eddie Jones was indifferent saying it did not matter whether the roof was open.
Jones told a news conference earlier on Thursday: "I will make a decision on the roof later in the week.
"It will matter when I have to make the decision. I'm not an entertainer, I'm a coach. We will have a chat later this week."
However, England have seemingly now had a change of heart with the Welsh Rugby Union confirming that the roof will be open for Saturday's contest.

Keep? Do you have any idea what league is like? That is what rugby has turned into, not where it's trying to go. The universal body type of mass, the game needs to stop heading towards the physically gifted and go back to its roots of how it's played. Much like how SA are trying to add to their game by taking advantage of new laws.
That's what's happening, but as Nick suggests the slow tempo team can still too easyily dictate how the fast tempo team can play.
You mean how rugby used to be before teams started trying to manipulate everything to take advantage for their own gain to the discredit of the game.
