Gleeson: England to attack Wales in must-win Guinness Six Nations clash

England will go out and attack Wales at Twickenham on Saturday in a game they are treating as a quarter-final, according to attack coach Martin Gleeson. Eddie Jones' side know they must win if they are to have a chance at lifting this year's trophy and Gleeson says they are playing knock-out rugby for the rest of the Championship.

If we don't get the result on Saturday, we are out so it's a quarter-final for us. »We know Wales fight really hard and are going to make it really difficult for us, so we have got to go into this with that quarter-final mentality and we have got to go after Wales this week." England bounced back from defeat to Scotland in Round 1 with a 33-0 win over Italy in Rome in which backs such as Marcus Smith and Harry Randall starred, something they'll be hoping to replicate on Saturday.

«We want to play quick, we want to play with some pace on the ball, and we want to be positive in the way we want to play and not wait for opportunities we want to try and create them,» added Gleeson. «Wales will pose a big threat with their defence and the way they dig in for each other, so we are going out there with an attacking plan.» England's attacking efforts will be boosted by the return of Manu Tuilagi now he's back to full fitness following a torn hamstring.

Gleeson is keen to utilise the powerful 30-year-old and says he can help take England's attack to another level. «Manu adds a lot; his physical presence, his footwork, his leg peed and just the things he can do not many other people can do,» he
