Mike Phillips says that Wales's Six Nations clash with England at Twickenham next week will be "massive".

Mike Phillips has said that Wales's Six Nations clash with England at Twickenham next week will be "massive".

Wales go into the match chasing the Triple Crown after wins over Ireland and Scotland, while England are also on a good run having beaten Scotland and Italy.

"It is a massive game now, it is set up nicely," the scrum-half said.

"It doesn't really matter who is favourite. We will go up there full of confidence and do what we have been doing, which is working hard for each other. We are in a good place at the moment."

Wales have won at Twickenham just once in their last 13 visits, and Phillips believes that the current England team should not be underestimated.

"To be fair to England, they have had two wins, and a win is a win," Phillips said.

"They are two from two. They are a new side, so it is important we go up there with a solid defence because they have got some threatening, dangerous players."

England host Wales on Saturday, February 25.
