IT’S a big rugby weekend in both codes.
Tomorrow, Wales get their Six Nations campaign underway with their trip to face England, while in rugby league, North Wales Crusaders are preparing for tomorrow evening’s third round Challenge Cup tie at home to Super League Leigh Leopards.
Wales head coach Steve Tandy said: “Wales v England is always a special game with all the history behind the fixture.
“We know they’re playing some outstanding rugby and they’re in great form. But I know how much it means to our players playing for the nation and representing Wales.
“The way the squad trained this week has been great. I want to see us get out and really attack the game on Saturday and give the best account of ourselves.”
Crusaders’ head coach Dean Muir is looking forward to going up against a Leigh side who lifted the trophy three years ago.
Muir told CruCast: “We can’t wait. I know the boys are buzzing and it’s one that we can’t wait to get into.”
Crusaders booked their third round meeting with Leigh courtesy of their 110-0 battering of Bedford Tigers.
