Following their 22-29 defeat against the French, Steve Hansens charges now travel to London to face an England side determined not to suffer the ignominy of a second consecutive loss in this years RBS 6 Nations Championship.

Clive Woodwards men surrendered their 22-match unbeaten run with a lacklustre display during their 22-14 defeat against Ireland at Twickenham last Saturday, their first taste of defeat since lifting the World Cup.

And any hopes England have of retaining their RBS 6 Nations crown will depend on whether or not they can put that result behind them and slay Hansens Dragons.

Following losses to Ireland and France the Welsh are now playing for pride, looking to push on from their encouraging displays during the World Cup, and a good showing against the team still ranked number one in the world will go a long way to rekindling memories of the countrys glory years.

Laporte though, does not rate their chances.

Wales will want to play well but I think they will find it very difficult," Laporte told www.wru.co.uk.

England will be very upset by their loss and will want to prove something to the home crowd.

Wales have not got a chance of winning the title now but England still do so it will be very tough.
