People say there is a lot of expectation on the England side but I can't speak for them. We are just concentrating on ourselves and doing our homework. I think we have been doing that pretty well and we can look forward to going there.

England may have a good record at Twickenham, but they are not unbeatable there. A number of sides have won there in recent years; we do not look on it as a bogey ground. We have talked a lot this week about not being afraid of performing. Everyone is confident.

England have got a great record there but they are not unbeatable, and a lot of sides have gone there and won. I don't think we should go up there and be afraid of performing.
