Wales ‘in good place’ for Slam assault

Mike Phillips believes Wales are “in a good place” as they prepare for a Triple Crown assault at Twickenham that could leave them two wins away from Grand Slam glory.

World Cup semi-finalists Wales will put their unbeaten record in this season’s RBS 6 Nations Championship on the line against title rivals England, who also boast a 100% record.

Those victories, though, have been achieved in starkly contrasting fashion. While Wales posted 50 points and six tries in defeating Ireland and Scotland, England were thankful for two Charlie Hodgson touchdowns – both courtesy of charged-down kicks – to edge out Scotland and Italy.
