We will, in conjunction with Gloucester, monitor Phil's progress over the next few weeks, but he will not be considered for the Wales game. I am disappointed for Phil, because he is an outstanding member of the squad and we hope to see him back soon.
charged coming confidence full grown highly last match played side time wales whatever
We will have a highly charged (Wales) side that will be full of confidence coming to Twickenham. Because of the way they have played over the last year, they've grown some belief. What is important to us is that Twickenham is a fortress, and it is now time to re-establish that. It is important for us to match whatever Wales have got.
