Wales head coach Ioan Cunningam said: “To know we have got another record crowd for England’s visit to the Arms Park is a credit to how the players, coaches and staff have all performed.
“We know England will be a huge challenge for us. They have been the benchmark team and dominated this tournament for so long and we are under no illusions of the task ahead of us.
“But knowing we have the backing of the Welsh supporters and that they appreciate how hard we have worked to be two from two shows we are heading in the right direction.
“To break that record for our second home game for England demonstrates how this team has inspired the nation.”
