Gatland urges Wales to front up to England

WALES look set to target a demolition job on an inexperienced England front row in next week’s RBS 6 Nations opener at Twickenham.

Wales boss Warren Gatland is poised to name an all-British and Irish Lions Test front row of Gethin Jenkins, Matthew Rees and Adam Jones.

And that revered unit could find itself opposite a largely untried England combination of Tim Payne, Dylan Hartley and David Wilson. It is an obvious area for potential Welsh domination, and Gatland did not shy away from it at yesterday’s Six Nations launch in central London.
