Gareth Edwards backs coach Warren Gatland


Gareth Edwards forces Wales need to follow coach Warren Gatland and learn from the mistakes of their Six Nations opening lost against England on Friday.

England beat by Welsh in their opening 2005 and 2008 Six Nations and both years culminated in Grand Slam glory.

"We all realise the importance of the first Six Nations game," said Jones.

Against England in Cardiff on Friday,Jone will win his 96th cap, hopes the three-year cycle of Six Nations clean-sweeps continue in a vital year for Welsh rugby.

"It would be nice to complete the sequence," added Wales coach Gatland.

"2005, 2008 and 2011 and we couldn't think of a better start than England at home."

It is a must win game for us, it is huge," Jones told BBC Sport.

"And we spoke about what happened in 2005 and 2008. Momentum is key and we must be successful on Friday night."
