England name team ahead of the eagerly-awaited Rugby World Cup Pool A clash versus Wales
Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) Chris Robshaw, England captain (on the battle at the breakdown in the game against Wales):
"Yeah, I think a challenge for all of us. Like Stuart touched on there, they've got a very talented back row, they compete hard, guys like Gethin Jenkins, and guys across the team who will compete and, that's part of the role and playing now, isn't it, to make it as competitive as possible, allow your team time to get in defence and do your job for the side. So yes, every team we play now there's a huge challenge there and that's no different to this weekend. But, we're at home, we're very excited to be playing Wales at home. I think the atmosphere's going to be electric, as it was last weekend, and hopefully be more good stuff."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Burgess, England centre:
"It's a big game. Really excited to get out there and, be a part of it. I think…. but you don't have to do anything different I guess, it's just another game. You've got to go out there and perform to your best, not let the occasion take over. But certainly looking forward to it."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Burgess, England centre (on Wales centre Jamie Roberts):
"Jamie's a great player. He's very big and dominant. Looking forward to the battle, and like I said, I'll just let my performance do the talking on Saturday. I don't want to make any bold predictions, but I'll be ready on Saturday."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Burgess, England centre (asked if he could have imagined when he switched to rugby union that he would be starting in a game of such magnitude):
"Well yes, I did. I did imagine it. So….I had a vision of doing it. So, I feel comfortable and…. sort of this is my goal. I guess this was what I wanted to achieve, to be a part of this squad. So yes, I did."
