“It’s amazing,” George recalled. “My first cap in the pre-world cup games last time around seems a long
time ago. It’s an incredibly exciting time to be involved in English rugby. There’s a huge excitement and
belief amongst the group that we can really do something special. I can’t wait to get going with the games.
“We have not looked too much at Wales yet. I am not entirely sure how much we are going to look at them
to be honest. World Cup pre-season type games are always interesting ones but it is coming just around the
corner now and that is obviously exciting.”
But warm-up match or not, George expects the same old intensity between the two fierce rivals.
“Whenever England play Wales it is going to have an edge to it. At the end of the day it is a Test match,
playing them home and away and they are both amazing opportunities to put our best foot forward and
potentially right a few wrongs from that game in the Six Nations.”
