England World Cup winner Will Greenwood has pinpointed Tomos Williams as the Wales dangerman at Twicklenham next week.
Greenwood, part of the conquering England side of 2003, dubbed Williams 'magic' and reckons he holds the key to a Wales upset against Eddie Jones red-hot favourites.
The former centre feels Wayne Pivac should just liberate the Cardiff scrum-half, let him run the show and says the Wales players should follow wherever Williams opts to go.
He warned Wales have something of an identity crisis after a mixed start to the Six Nations, but argued Williams is their best hope of beating England and chasing after the title again.
"For some of the other teams, it is about the master strategy. About building, about adding bits and pieces to their game. For Wales, the most emotional nation on and off the pitch in our beautiful game, it is about Twickenham. About the next game. About not undoing the good work of that fabulous win against Scotland by being brushed aside again," Greenwood wrote in a Telegraph column.
"There is a bit of an identity crisis on the terraces in Cardiff. The love is not in question, but there is a sense that Wales are having to tough it out.
"But if they can go toe-to-toe with England, even if they don’t win, then perhaps another season that began rather damply can find a way to wonderful highs once again."
He continued: "I would let Tomos loose. Give him free rein to play what he sees. I think the kid is magic. And tough. Not perfect, but I like the cut of his jib.
"Let him play, let him run, let Dan Biggar pick up the bits and pieces and take territory when needed.
"Let his pack follow him up alleyways and confined channels. Love the shortside for what it is: an opportunity to pick players off."
Greenwood reckons the job of Pivac and his fellow coaches is about "filling the players heads with positive thoughts and letting them loose on 7,000 square metres of Twickenham turf."
But he does believe there are England frailties Wales can seek to exploit.
"If you match England’s pack what do they do next? You could say that about anyone to be fair," he writes.
"But I genuinely don’t feel that England’s current pack, as monstrous as it has been at times, can play in and out of contact as well as the teams that really matter."
