Warburton: This is the best moment of my career

Superstitious Wales skipper Sam Warburton has banned himself from talking about the Grand Slam his World Cup semi-finalists are now favourites to achieve next month.

A tense Twickenham triumph against England – only their second at English rugby headquarters since 1988 – means Wales already have the Triple Crown trophy safely secured. But that is just one third of Wales’ Six Nations mission accomplished.

“The players don’t even dare say those two words [Grand Slam],” he said.
