Tomas Francis: 'Wales will head to Twickenham with no fear'

Tomas Francis says that he and his Wales teammates are "looking forward" to taking on England in next week's Twickenham showdown.

Wales tighthead prop Tomas Francis has insisted that he is "relishing" the chance to take on England at Twickenham.

Both sides opened up their Pool A campaigns with bonus-point victories, although tougher tests now lie in wait.

In what has been dubbed the 'Group of Death', next weekend's fixture in the English capital could prove potentially decisive in determining which side progresses through to the knockout stages.

Speaking to reporters after his side's 54-9 win over Uruguay this afternoon, Francis said: "I'm relishing it. We know what's coming and we are looking forward to it.

"We don't fear them at all; as a team we don't care if we play at home or away. We don't need any motivation for it - we all know exactly what it is about."

England, who opened up the World Cup with victory over Fiji on Friday night, beat Wales 21-16 in the last meeting between the two sides.
