Dave Attwood has claimed that the star names in the Wales squad will not intimidate England when the two sides meet in the Six Nations on Friday.
A number of injuries means that Attwood will be the senior player in England's second row at the Millennium Stadium, and the 27-year-old insists that Stuart Lancaster's side will show no fear against the hosts.
"Across the field, Wales have some tremendous players," the Bath lock told reporters. "There are a lot of guys who will stand up and be counted when their backs are against the wall. That's the challenge we're facing.
"We may be fresh-faced in comparison to plenty of those guys but, if you get dazzled by the starlight, you get nowhere.
"You have to treat them as normal blokes, who play rugby the same as you. Then it becomes a bit more of a level playing field."
Wales finished third behind England and winners Ireland in 2014.
