"We don't fear them at all!" - Ex-Wales star previews England clash with Brian O'Driscoll

One of the big games in the Rugby World Cup this weekend is the pool clash between England and Wales at Twickenham tomorrow.

Off The Ball guest presenter Brian O'Driscoll was joined on the line by former Wales and Lions winger JJ Williams to look ahead to a game which could go a long way to deciding which nation progresses from a group which also features Australia.

Williams told Brian that there is "nervous optimism" from a Welsh perspective as the match closes in.

"We're fairly confident. Most Welsh people think we can win but we know that we're losing [Leigh] Halfpenny and he is a vital player for Wales because he keeps our scoreboard ticking over. But we've got an experienced team anyway and more experience than England. We don't fear them at all. We go there full of confidence, I think," he said. 

Brian also posed question marks about an aspect of England's game-plan in terms of their centre pairing.

"I would have concerns from an English perspective, if you've got this X-Factor out wide, how are you getting the ball to them?"
