James Haskell: 'England players got rid of demons in Wales win'

England flanker James Haskell believes that victory over Wales on Friday has banished demons of a heavy defeat two years ago.

England flanker James Haskell has admitted that several players exacted revenge in Cardiff on Friday night as England beat Wales in the Six Nations.

Haskell was part of the England team that lost 30-3 to Wales in 2013, but the Red Rose got the better of their neighbours on Friday night with a 21-16 victory at the Millennium Stadium.

Haskell told BBC Sport: "When we came here in 2013 we were soundly beaten. For some of us it was about banishing our demons.

"Every time we go to Cardiff, Wales are very, very fierce opposition with a difficult crowd behind them. But by the end it felt as though the stadium was full of English fans, which was quite a nice feeling.

"It's a great place to go and win. To get any win, especially against a Welsh side, is very, very special. It does feel very satisfying."

England next face Italy at Twickenham on Saturday.
