Wales Six Nations: Sam Warburton has fond memories of Twickenham glory

Daily Mail  

Sam Warburton may have seen the Wales-England rivalry become friendlier in recent years but he called on his players to make themselves heroes at Twickenham on Saturday. Wales legend Sam Warburton is no stranger to the white-hot atmosphere of an England clash Having won twice at Twickenham – in 2012 and at the 2015 World Cup – Warburton wants his squad to follow in his footsteps. Wales will give influential Dan Biggar every chance to start at Twickenham on Saturday ‘Rather than the personal rivalries, the players get more energised over the history of the game and the occasion. Wales winger George North will seek specialist advice after a head-knock against France I thought: “Ah don’t worry, we’ll come back and do this again”.But you learn it the hard way, it’s a very tough place to go. ‘It’s brilliant, particularly when the Welsh fans go down and it becomes a competition of who can be the loudest.’ Warburton also delivered positive injury updates on Dan Biggar, George North, Josh Navidi and Liam Williams who are all fit for the England game.
