When you travel to Twickenham, it doesn't matter what form England are in. Most of the time, they are able to put in big performances in front of their home fans.There is a certain aura to Twickenham. It's this massive cauldron of a place and it's a great place to play rugby. Winning there is a brilliant feeling, but it certainly does not come easy.
The lads will have discussed the importance of making a good start and silencing the crowd early on. They know what's at stake and know the importance of not allowing England to build momentum.Against Wales, we started really well and were cruising at 17-0 up at half-time.

England have had a tricky enough start to the Six Nations. There has been a lot of talk about them trying to change the way they are playing and adopting a more attack-minded approach.
