Eddie is fearing no one
WALES hold no fear for rampant England as Eddie Jones’ men prepare to march on Cardiff for a potential Six Nations title decider between the last two unbeaten sides in the championship.
England will travel to the Principality Stadium buoyed by yesterday’s win over France at Twickenham – their biggest over the Les Bleus since 1911.
“I’ve never found it a fortress,” said Jones. “You go there and it’s a tough game, they’re a good side and it’s a loud crowd, but it’s never been a fortress to
me. We’re looking forward to going down there. Should be fun,” said Jones, right.
“We’re playing against the greatest Welsh side ever. I hear all the commentary – that’s what everyone’s saying. How could I argue with the commentary?
“If you remember the comments back in November we weren’t doing so well and the gap between us was massive, so let’s see how big the gap is between us Saturday week. We’ll have a message to
send Saturday week. But we’ll leave it until then.
“We just had a quick chat in the room there and we felt we probably left 15 to 20 points on the field.
There’s a lot more in this team.
“When we get back together on Wednesday we’ll start the process.”
England took France apart yesterday with Jonny
May racing in for a hat-trick inside the opening half an hour. “It’s very
special and I’ll remember this day. To score tries for your country is awesome, especially at Twickenham. I’m incredibly lucky,” said May.
“We tried to raise the bar after a really good performance last week and we came out and played some good rugby. “We are a more mature team. We’ve learnt a lot and we’ve improved a lot. “It’s awesome playing for England at the moment.”
