Forwards coach Steve Borthwick says England are excited about Sundays one-off Test with Wales at Twickenham, live on Sky Sports 3.The fixture replaces the traditional end-of-season non-cap international against the Barbarians and is being staged to assist the Rugby Football Union in compensating Aviva Premiership clubs for the disruption caused by last autumns World Cup.England will select their strongest available team for the last of three Twickenham matches in eight months against Warren Gatlands men, but are missing players from league finalists Saracens and Exeter, who meet at the same venue 24 hours earlier. The following day the Grand Slam winners head to Australia for a three-Test series against the Wallabies and Wales depart for New Zealand, before a season that effectively started in September 2014 because of the World Cup finally comes to a close.Borthwick insists England should expect to win on Sunday despite the unavailability of stars such as Billy Vunipola, Maro Itoje and Jack Nowell in front of what is expected to be a full house.From our perspective, this is a Test match. It feels like a huge and exciting Test match, the forwards coach said.At this point weve sold 78,000 tickets so its going to be a sell-out or very close to a sell-out. Luther Burrell is over missing the World Cup and is only focused on Englands upcoming games against Wales and Australia The supporters are excited about it and its a brilliant opportunity to be playing this game in May in what should be a good game.Weve prepared the best we can and we want to win as many matches as we can.Leicester prop Dan Cole echoes those sentiments and is treating the contest seriously ahead of the three-Test summer tour of Australia.Cole admits he would rather have been lining up at Twickenham for the Tigers, but insists they are ready for a tough challenge. Dan Cole is ready for a tough test against vWales Ideally Id be playing in the Premiership final, but Im not. Its not a warm-up game, its a Test match, he said.For me its part of the Australia tour, a four-Test block. Its good being in camp because [head coach] Eddie Jones has put a real spring into the English step.Watch England v Wales on Sunday.

I never talked one word to a Houston scout, G.M., coach anything. Im just happy to be here, I can tell you that.The Raiders are even happier as Carr has developed into one of the leagues top young quarterbacks in his third season and is a major reason why Oakland (7-2) is in position to end a 13-year playoff drought.Carr has completed 66.1 percent of his passes for 2,505 yards with 17 touchdowns and a passer rating of 99.1 heading into Monday nights meeting with the Texans (6-3) in Mexico City.Hes having a heck of a year, Texans coach Bill OBrien said. Hes only thrown three interceptions, I think hes completing almost 70 percent of his balls, doing a good job throwing the ball down the field, and he can run. So, yeah, hes doing a lot. Hes got a good grasp of their offense. We evaluated all the quarterbacks coming out in that draft and we felt like he was definitely one of the better quarterbacks.They just decided against taking him. There was speculation at the time that Houston passed on Derek Carr because David struggled during his time with the Texans.David Carr was sacked 76 times as a rookie in 2002 and 249 times in five seasons. He never had a passer rating higher than 83.5 and didnt produce a winning record in any season with Houston before ending his career as mostly a backup with Carolina, San Francisco and the New York Giants.With help from a stronger offensive line and good pocket presence, Derek Carr has been sacked only 62 times in 41 career games.He can go up there and fix a problem, ESPN analyst Jon Gruden said. If theres a blitz coming on the left, he doesnt miss it; he changes the protection. He hand signals the route. He keeps tthe Raiders in optimum play selection, and things dont have to perfect.dddddddddddd. I mean, if the pocket isnt clean, he can just slide two feet to his right and throw an awkward-delivery release 18 yards down the field on the dime. Hes got very good pocket skills.Gruden worked Carr out at his quarterback camp before the draft and came away extremely impressed. He recalled Carr hitting a target 20 yards downfield so accurately that it broke the cameras filming the session.Carr has shown more of those skills while starting every game for Oakland since entering the league.Houston, on the other hand, has started seven quarterbacks in that span. The Texans gave Brock Osweiler a $72 million, four-year contract this offseason to fill that role but he has struggled in his first full season as a starter.Osweiler has completed just 58.6 percent of his passes and is last in the league with 5.6 yards per attempt. He has thrown only 11 touchdown passes with nine interceptions and has a passer rating of 74.1.Now they get a chance to see how much Carr has developed since he faced them two years ago in his second game as a starter.Carr was intercepted twice that game as Oakland lost 30-14 as part of a 0-10 start to his career.Now, he shows signs of reading defenses, changing plays at the line of scrimmage, he can make all the throws, he can control the pocket and his movement in the pocket so that he can make a throw, Texans defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel said. Hes a different cat and better. Hes a better guy then we faced a couple years ago.Game notesThe NFL said there was no update on the status of LB Aldon Smith, who is waiting to be reinstated after his one-year suspension for substance abuse ended Thursday. Commissioner Roger Goodell must decide whether to reinstate Smith before he can make a comeback. ...
