Warren Gatland: 'Unsettled England not sure where they are going'

Wales coach Warren Gatland believes his side are far more settled than England, who are "not 100% sure of where they are going" ahead of the Rugby World Cup.

Wales coach Warren Gatland has suggested that rivals England are an unsettled unit, unlike his own side.

The 51-year-old believes that England coach Stuart Lancaster faces a number of difficult decisions regarding his Rugby World Cup squad, while Wales are more comfortable going into the tournament.

Speaking to reporters after naming his 31-man squad, Gatland said: "Who are [England] going to play at nine and 10? Who are they going to play in midfield? What is the make-up of their back-row? They need [Geoff] Parling to call their lineouts - who is his partner and who comes off the bench?

"We are a little bit more settled and more comfortable with the experience and combinations that we've got.

"Obviously they have got some world-class players and the depth that I would love to have, but they are not 100% sure of where they are going."

England will take on Wales at the World Cup on Saturday, September 26.
