Six Nations LIVE: England sweating over key man as Wales hero ramps up mind games | Rugby | Sport


Sam Warburton has ramped up the mind games ahead of today’s mouthwatering clash between Wales and England.

He believes the hosts will be able to secure a ‘historic’ victory by letting England become the architects of their own downfall.

In his column for The Times, Warburton wrote: “They can force England to go through the phases in attack, and that is not England’s strength.

“Often, after three or four phases, they can lose their shape quite quickly and become impatient and then kick the ball away rather aimlessly.

“Wales need to be patient and disciplined in defence. They must just let England go through multiple phases. Wales can trouble England in attack, as they did Ireland.

“With a defence like England, you can maybe look to play really deep and spook the players into easing off because they fear you are going to go outside them.”
