Dillon Lewis says Wales are champing at the bit ahead of the “biggest game in the fixture list.”

Wales travel to Twickenham on Saturday to face an England side who are still in contention to win the Guinness Six Nations. But Lewis insists Wales are good enough to make their mark at the home of English rugby.

“It’s Wales against England and it’s the biggest game in the fixture list,” said the Cardiff Blues prop.

“It’s one where we get massively excited for. You look at the last game against France we had a lot of opportunities that we didn’t convert.

“That was one of the frustrations for us. Going into this week now there’ll be a lot of why didn’t we convert in certain areas and how can we convert.

“We need to put those right. I played at Twickenham during the World Cup warm-up games and it’s an outstanding ground to play at.”

Wales’ scrum has come under scrutiny in some quarters throughout the championship but Lewis is happy with the way it’s gone and expects it to keep getting better.

The 24-year-old also praised the impact of forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys, saying: “He’s been very good. He brings a lot of detail not just in the set-piece but around the park and the things he’s looking for in our roles.

“He’s helped me a lot at scrum time and he brings a lot of detail to that aspect. I think we’ve scrummaged quite well over the first three games of the tournament.

“Obviously with Jonathan Humphreys coming in he’s outlined the way he wants us to scrummage. He’s helped me quite a lot I think.

“I think we are starting to see a lot of benefit from it. There was that one scrum against France which turned the screw but up until that point we showed a lot of dominance.

“It was good up to that point. It’s frustrating but at the end of the day it’s down to one man’s opinion.

“Those calls can either go with you or against you so I think that’s something we have to put behind us now and we have to concentrate on ourselves.”
