Wales coach Warren Gatland says he has been hurt after hearing second-hand comments from players that he didn't care about them.
The game in Wales has been on the brink of breaking point this week, with players threatening to strike ahead of the Six Nations clash with England this weekend over a contract dispute with Welsh rugby bosses.
However, any threat of strike action was averted on Wednesday - leaving Gatland to carry on preparing his side for the fixture with Steve Borthwick's side.
