Versatile Earl knows winless Wales will 'come out swinging' but insists England have firepower to get job done in Cardiff

- BY ADAM HATHAWAY

BEN EARL knows Wales have nothing to lose in tomorrow's Cardiff clash but insists England can ride the punches and notch a fourth Six Nations win this campaign.

The desperate Welsh have lost 16 on the spin and are out to deny England a shot at the title and send stand-in coach Matt Sherratt off with a bang.

Back-row Earl was part of an England side that lost seven games on the spin against top-tier opposition, until their win over France recently, and recognises the Welsh mood.

Earl has played at the Principality Stadium only once, in front of empty stands during covid in 2021, but knows how Wales will play with their backs to the wall - he has been there.
