Catt his back at England 'obstruction' row

England have hit back in the escalating row over obstruction that has ignited the build-up to Friday’s RBS 6 Nations opener in Cardiff by stating that Wales use similar tactics.

Shaun Edwards, the hosts’ defence specialist, fired the first salvo on the eve of the Millennium Stadium showdown by highlighting the “rugby league plays” employed by Stuart Lancaster’s men that he wants to be properly policed by referee Jerome Garces.
