That's the best.
Former Wales captain Sam Warburton loved playing for England.
This rivalry brought the Welshman the highest of highs, but also the lowest of lows. It's a game where a lot is always at stake.
From historic victories to championship games and World Cup finals, this match has produced many iconic moments.

2012: Wales secure rare Twickenham victory
Wales have only won twice in the Six Nations at Twickenham.
One of them happened in February 2012. At the time, Warburton, 23, had redemption on his mind, just months after receiving a red card in the World Cup semi-final defeat to France.
“Twickenham was a fantastic stadium for Welsh players to travel to and the atmosphere was phenomenal,” he says. Rugby Union Daily. “Outside the principality, this was my favorite place to play.
“For a young person, it's quite daunting to walk through a crowd. I just got sent off four months before the World Cup, but it gave me even more recognition.
“When I got to the door, there was a little fire escape and one of the England fans yelled 'Warburton, red card'. That was a huge motivation for me. It was just that brief moment.”
Warburton produced a Man of the Match performance in the 19-12 win, including an iconic try-saving tackle on Manu Tuilagi.
“It was our first win at Twickenham and we are a young team so not many players have won at Twickenham,” he says.
“When I was playing at Twickenham, I felt a different energy from the players on the field.”
2013: Wales reject England's title win
England were in great form in 2013, heading into Cardiff one game away from a Grand Slam. However, to stay in contention for the title, Wales needed to bounce back from their opening game loss to Ireland and win by seven points.
“There must have been about 15 people on each side of the bus,” Warburton recalled. “The pavement on both sides to take the buses to the stadium was like parting the Red Sea.
“The whole street continued to flood with fans all the way to the Prince of Wales pub. I literally couldn't believe what I was seeing. It was like the whole of Wales coming to Cardiff. ”
Warren Gatland's side led 9-3 at half-time, but two quick tries from Alex Cuthbert sealed a 30-3 victory.
“All that drama and emotion only happens when England come to town,” Warburton says. “You’ll never get that if you play in Ireland, France, Scotland or New Zealand.”
2015: Cardiff tunnel standoff
Two years later, there was more drama.
England captain Chris Robshaw stood motionless in the tunnel as he waited for Wales to emerge from the Principality Stadium dressing room.
Warburton said he respected Robshaw's decision and said Wales would not be rushed into their pre-match routine as they were initially told they had three minutes left.
“They didn't say, 'Chris Robshaw is in the tunnel, come out,'” he says. They just said, “Come out.” I said, “No, we'll stick to the routine.”
“I thought it was great leadership from Chris Robshaw. I thought it was great. You have to stand on your own two feet, so I'm really glad he did that.”
Robshaw's side remained unfazed, avenging 2013 with a 21-16 victory.
2015: Meeting on the biggest stage
The Six Nations is definitely big. But a World Cup match between England and Wales at Twickenham may never happen again.
Stuart Lancaster's England were seen as favorites to take the title against injury-hit Wales in what was deemed a “must-win” match for both teams.
Wales finished the match Scrumhalf Lloyd Williams is on the wing. He set up Gareth Davies' try in the second half before Dan Biggar's penalty from long range sealed a famous victory.
“We were dealt a lot of bad cards in the lead up to that England game, but when you're dealt so many bad cards it almost always works out,” Warburton said.
“Sometimes it's easier to be the underdog. I didn't like it because I wanted to be number one, but I remember thinking in 2015 that I had nothing to lose.”
“The next week we were back on the wheel to beat Australia, so I didn't enjoy it as much as I did in 2013.”
Australia defeated England and Wales to advance to the pool championship, with England quickly eliminated from their home World Cup.
2017: One of the toughest defeats for Wales
This was Warburton's last Six Nations game against England, making it his fourth consecutive defeat against England in the competition.
Elliot Daly's try in the 76th minute sealed victory for the visitors.
“That was one of the toughest losses because it's very disappointing to lose at home to England,” Warburton said.
“A lot of senior players could take it on the chin, but if it was a younger group it could have done quite a bit of damage.
“And they came back two years later and won a Grand Slam.”
