'Wales more settled than England'
Wales head coach Warren Gatland has fired the first shots ahead of his side’s meeting with England at the Rugby World Cup.
Gatland was speaking after announcing his 31-man squad for the tournament which kicks off on September 18.
"We are much more settled," Gatland told reporters.
"England have got the problem of which way they want to play and who they want to play.
"Who are they going to play at nine and 10? Who are they going to play in midfield? What is the make-up of their back row?
"They need (Geoff) Parling to call their lineouts - who is his partner and who comes off the bench?
"We are a little bit more settled and more comfortable with the experience and combinations that we've got.
"Obviously they (England) have got some world-class players and the depth that I would love to have, but they are not 100 per cent sure of where they are going.”
