England prepare for Wales with hymns

Ahead of their clash with Wales on Friday night, the England rugby team have been listening to hymns to prepare them for the atmosphere at the Millennium Stadium.

The crowd in Cardiff are well-known for their raucous nature, which has been known to intimidate the visiting side, something England head coach Stuart Lancaster is looking to avoid.

"It's a way of trying to replicate for the players who haven't been there examples of sounds they'll hear around the stadium, but also how clear your communication needs to be," Lancaster said.

"We've not done it all week because we don't have the eardrums for that."
