Shaun Edwards: Banking on big-game experience

Shaun Edwards is counting on Wales' recent big-game experience in Saturday's Six Nations decider against England.

England are chasing their first Six Nations triumph in a decade, while reigning champions Wales are hunting a fourth since 2005.

Wales must win by seven points, providing they stay ahead of England on tournament tries, to retain their title but assistant coach Edwards insists the pressure is all on Stuart Lancaster's side.

"I am pleased that we've had the experience of being in big games before," Edwards said.

"Most of our team has played in a Grand Slam game, some in two, some in three.

"They've also played in a World Cup semi-final, and I am just really hoping that experience will help us on Saturday. It is a huge game.

"The fact that England beat the All Blacks in such a resounding way (in November) and scored all those points against them, I think gave a lot of kudos to the Six Nations.

"There is a lot of expectation and a lot of pressure on them. England have not won a Grand Slam for 10 years, which is a long time, but we are concentrating on ourselves."

One of England's biggest challenges next weekend promises to be unlocking a

Wales defence that has not conceded a try in 275 minutes of Six Nations action - almost three-and-a-half games.

"The lads are very determined to concede the least tries in the competition. We've had a history of doing that in the last few years," Edwards added.

"We conceded the least tries last year and hopefully we are going to concede the least tries this year. We are up against one of the biggest challenges, offensively, in England."
