With the Red Roses still in the title race—ready to pounce if France slip up—George has piled the pressure on Matt Sherratt's side by suggesting that facing England is as big as it gets for Wales.
“Wales are going to be so motivated—England against Wales in Cardiff is huge,” George told the BBC Rugby Union Weekly podcast.
“It will be their World Cup final. It doesn’t get much bigger than Wales against England in Cardiff.”
The rivalry between the two nations has always been fierce, and George's comments will only add extra spice to an already highly anticipated fixture. Wales, who have shown improvement in recent weeks, will be desperate to prove they're more than just underdogs in front of a passionate home crowd.

Three players Borthwick must change despite smashing Italy – who should replace them
Here are three changes England must make for their final Six Nations clash.
#1. Ellis Genge
Planet Rugby: “Again, didn't get to do much scrummaging but on the whole was fine. Carried hard when given the chance and got about in defence.”
Telegraph: “Probably his quietest performance of the Championship so far. Won an early scrum penalty but then got pinged for sealing off right in front of the posts.”
Mail Online: Warned for protesting with referee in the first half after being penalised for sealing off. Added a couple of trademark carries in attack.
Evening Standard: “Warned by the referee for his reaction to giving away a contentious late first-half penalty as he had too much to say for himself. Not his best day otherwise but useful in the loose.”
Replacement: Fin Baxter
