England hooker Dylan Hartley has said that he and his teammates are ready for their Six Nations clash against Wales at Twickenham on Sunday.

The 27-year-old insists that they have learnt from their 30-3 defeat to the Red Dragons at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium last year.

"It's nice to have the memory of that game to make sure it doesn't happen again," he told BBC Sport. "Since that game we haven't been beaten in that manner. I think our forward pack has developed hugely in the last 12 months.

"That was a red-hot atmosphere in Cardiff last year, but the atmosphere we had against Ireland was up there with the best I've ever experienced.

"Rugby is an emotional game. How you manage those emotions is how you will be as a player. We've got to be able to play in those atmospheres but keep our emotions in control."

England and Wales have collected four points each from their respective three matches so far.
