Wales skipper Sam Warburton retains hope of Six Nations success

Wales captain Sam Warburton has insisted that his side can still win this year's Six Nations championship despite defeat to England on Friday.

Wales led 16-8 at half time but failed to score a second-half point as England secured a 21-16 victory at the Millennium Stadium.

However, Warburton is hopeful that his side can repeat their success of two years ago, when they won the tournament after losing their first game.

He wrote in the Telegraph: "We have been in this situation before. Indeed two years ago we lost our first match to Ireland and still won the championship. It will be hard, of course, it will, but we know it can be done."

Wales face Scotland on Sunday.
