Farrell: England a different team than the World Cup failures
Owen Farrell has told Wales to expect a different England to the team they beat at Twickenham during last autumn's World Cup.
The RBS 6 Nations title is at stake when the sides meet for the 128th time with the winners almost certainly going on to seize Ireland's crown.
Among the most painful of the 57 defeats endured by England was the 28-25 loss in September that set the hosts on the path to World Cup ruin, throwing away a commanding position amid a spectacular loss of nerve in the final quarter.
Thirteen players may remain from the matchday 23 used on that crushing Twickenham evening, but Farrell insists Eddie Jones' team have moved on.
"It's different now, we're in a different place. We're however many months on from that," the Saracens centre said.
"There's not a week that we spend together where we don't get better. That's happened since we've got here. That's what we are focusing on.
"We make sure we leave no stone unturned, but we are concentrating on getting better."
