Former England prop Jeff Probyn, talking to The Western Mail's Gareth Griffiths, believes Wales must win at England to lay their Six Nations ghosts to rest.
"Former England prop Jeff Probyn insists Warren Gatland’s Wales need a win at Twickenham on Saturday far more than England do.
In a hard-hitting appraisal of where both countries stand, Probyn warned Gatland’s men that the trouncing England suffered in Dublin at the hands of Ireland to deny them a Grand Slam on the final weekend of the Six Nations will have been just the wake-up call Martin Johnson’s men needed.
And the man who was once dubbed the best prop in the world, even though he didn’t play international rugby until he was 31, also dismissed claims Wales face a World Cup group of death in New Zealand.
Probyn’s assessment comes at a time when the ghosts of the August 2007 62-5 thrashing Wales took at Headquarters have predictably been on the loose once more."
