Watch out, England! Wales better now than in World Cup

Wednesday, March 09 2016 by SNTV
  • Wales head coach Warren Gatland predicted "whoever wins on Saturday probably wins the Six Nations".

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Warren Gatland, Wales head coach (Q: Do you think you're facing a better England team compared to the World Cup?)

    "They're a good side, I mean I don't think they're too far away from cracking it, they have been second in the Six Nations for the last four years and you know they're pretty close and as a team they've got a lot of strength-in-depth and some young players that are continuing to improve the longer they're in the side. So I think it's going to be, on Saturday, one heck of a game and to be honest whoever wins on Saturday probably wins the Six Nations."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Warren Gatland, Wales head coach (Q: What is difference between the two coaching set ups, Stuart Lancaster and Eddie Jones?)

    "He's brought a bit of an edge hasn't he. So I think what Eddie has done, he's just expressed himself, he's spoken and says what he thinks, which has been great. He's been honest and opinionated and I think it's been great for the game and I think sometimes that different voice and different edge to an outfit can sometimes bring the best out of you and it sounds like the players are enjoying the environment and thriving on that. I think that's what makes Saturday pretty fascinating for both teams. For us going back from the World Cup, but we haven't even spoken about the World Cup and what happened there, it was a great performance by us then to get out of that group, but we feel like we're in much better shape now than we were during the World Cup and there is a lot of confidence in this team and the guys have been training really well and we're treating Saturday as a final."
