Neil Jenkins: 'Wales not focusing on England showdown'

Jenkins: 'No focus on England showdown'

Neil Jenkins has said that Wales are not going to be distracted by the prospect of a Six Nations showdown against England next month.

The reigning champions are currently second in the championship table behind England, who are the only unbeaten side in the tournament.

The assistant coach told reporters: "The main focus for us is to win our games, starting against Scotland, which we know is going to very tough.

"There is no thought or mention of England a week later. When that comes around it will bring enough pressures with it. Our focus is on Scotland and about doing a job there.

"[Scotland] are the same as us, two wins out of three, and it is a home game for them. They will fancy their chances against us and then to go to Paris on the final day with a chance of maybe them winning the championship."

Jenkins was capped 87 times for Wales during his playing career.
