Injury concerns for England

But nothing significant. JJ [Joseph] has a bit of a knock, nothing too serious.

“At the start of every Test week we have bumps and bruises”.

“It’s something and nothing”.

The Bath back, 24, picked up a knock to the chest in England’s win over Fiji on Friday and missed training on Tuesday. If he is fit for this weekend, we will know by tomorrow internally. “If he’s not fit, he won’t be [out of action] more than a week anyway”.

Rugby league convert Sam Burgess and 22-year old Henry Slade, who have just four caps between them, provide the cover with Farrell’s son Owen, normally a flyhalf, also a potential to step in.

England won their Pool A opener against Fiji 35-11, but will be looking for a more convincing performance against Sam Warburton’s Wales side.

Ospreys hooker Baldwin, meanwhile, has no doubt how Wales must approach an England game that will see them either maintain a strong quarter-final course or leave them scrapping to avoid pool stage elimination.

“Some guys will train today, some guys won’t train today”.

“Tyler was part of our extended squad and trained very well, and will link up with us in London later today”. “We don’t need to rush, we have an eight day turnaround”, he added.

“We need to take our time and give everyone the best possible chance of being fit. People have got bangs and long-term injuries who need a couple more days”.

England 2015 will attract rugby fans from around the world and Tigers are opening the doors to all supporters for events around England fixtures and matches played in the city. We know the type of game that they will want to play.

“Whatever bench we pick this week, we’re going to have an impact again”, he said. “We’ll do what’s right for the team”.

Newport Gwent Dragons centre Tyler Morgan has filled Allen’s place, and Wales head coach Warren Gatland will also be keeping a close eye on his prop resources after Paul James and Samson Lee went off after experiencing tight calf muscles against Uruguay, and Aaron Jarvis suffered rib damage.

“But he’s a big game player and can make a massive difference so we can expect a big performance from him”.

“When we picked our 31-man squad we were confident that every man can do a job for us”, he said. Farrell said.

“It’s one of those games isn’t it, which everyone is unbelievably excited about”, he said. What will count is that England are playing in white and in the home dressing room and at Twickenham.
