England warned Wales clash means "much more" to opponents after strike threat chaos

England have been warned that their Six Nations clash means "much more" to opponents Wales after strike action which threatened to cancel the match was called off.

It was announced earlier this week that Welsh players had cancelled planned strike action over their contracts - with some players only having months left on their deals. The match in Cardiff is believed to be worth close to £9million for the WRU and will go ahead after a resolution materialised between players and bosses.

Wales suffered a heavy 35-7 defeat by Scotland at Murrayfield in their second of two Six Nations defeats after a 10-34 home loss to Ireland in their opener.
