'WE'RE READY FOR THE ENGLAND WAR ZONE'

WALES flanker Josh Macleod says Saturday's Guinness Six Nations opener against England will resemble a “war zone”.
-
England are expected to begin the tournament with a bang at Allianz Stadium given the contrasting recent records of the two sides.
Steve Borthwick’s side have won 11 consecutive matches, while Wales have lost 21 of their last 23 Tests with the only two wins coming against Japan.
England romped to a record 68-14 victory in Cardiff last March, but Macleod insists Wales will meet fire with fire on what would be the 29-year-old’s Six Nations debut.
“It would probably feel like going into a war zone. I enjoy it, just the physical battle, the confrontation,” said Scarlets back-rower Macleod.
“It’s the fight that often pulls you out of situations where you're on the back foot.
