• Home coach keen to focus on rugby not words
• Wales know they must impose their own game
Wales are ready for a war of words in the buildup to their match against England in Cardiff a week on Saturday, with Eddie Jones making an early start on Sunday by declaring he does not see the Principality Stadium as a fortress.
The Welsh coaching setup believe the salvos will count for little once the two remaining unbeaten teams in the Six Nations meet. “It is up to Eddie what he says; I am not bothered,” said the Wales assistant coach, Neil Jenkins. “England have won here the last couple of times so it is probably not a fortress for them. I am sure a few hand grenades will be thrown between now and the game, some by Eddie.
