Wainwright calling for 80 minutes of accuracy and energy at Twickenham

Aaron Wainwright has highlighted energy and accuracy as key ingredients for Wales when they tackle England at Twickenham on Saturday.

It is 12 years since Wales beat England away from home in the tournament, a Triple Crown-clinching victory that was secured by centre Scott Williams' late try.

Wales went on to win the title and secure a Grand Slam that campaign, but apart from their 2015 World Cup pool win, Twickenham has not been a happy hunting ground during recent seasons.

Seven successive defeats albeit five of them by six points or less - mean that Wales will arrive as underdogs to southwest London.

But despite losing a pulsating Six Nations opener 27-26 to Scotland in Cardiff, Wales' remarkable second-half fightback saw them end the game with two losing bonus points.

Changes can be expected for the England clash, with fitagain centre George North, scrum-half Tomos Williams, hooker Elliot Dee and prop Keiron Assiratti among those likely to come under strong consideration from head coach Warren Gatland.

Given the impact made by Wales' substitutes - Williams, Dee and as sir at ti all went on for the second half and played key roles during a burst of 26 unanswered points - it would be a major surprise if they are not promoted to starting XV duty.

Had Wales defeated Scotland, it would have been the biggest comeback to win a game in Six Nations history, easily surpassing them overturning a 16-point deficit against France in 2019. "Another five minutes, and we probably would have got the win," Wales No 8 and player of the match Wainwright said.

"A game of two halves sums it up perfectly. It was not the start we wanted, but we showed what we can do when we start putting some stuff together.

"Next weekend we need to go with full energy and accuracy. We need to be more accurate. Going for the corner, a tap-play move, we weren't accurate enough, didn't keep the ball.

"Whether it is execution or role knowledge, we need to fix that, and doing it from the first whistle will be key."
