Prop forward Tomas Francis has stated that Wales are looking forward to facing the England pack when the sides meet at Twickenham on Saturday.
Francis could win his fourth cap for his country if first-choice tighthead Samson Lee fails to recover from a calf injury.
The 23-year-old Exeter Chiefs prop has regularly played against England's front-row at club level.
"I have played against all of them pretty much, and I know what they can bring. We have got plenty to match them and even take them on I think. I relish it, really. We know what's coming, and we are looking forward to it," Francis told reporters.
"England at Twickenham in their World Cup, it doesn't get much bigger than that...we don't need to get any motivation for it - everyone is up for it. We don't fear them at all. As a Welsh team we don't care where we play - home or away. Our record shows we enjoy it.
"They will want to take us on physically, if their pack gets dominance they will back themselves. If we can match them and give our backs a platform, I would fancy our backs to knock them over."
Both England and Wales sit on 5 points after one fixture in Pool A, having recorded bonus-point victories over Fiji and Uruguay respectively.
