Leigh Halfpenny says Wales is using the 'hurt' of last year's RBS 6 Nations defeat by England at Twickenham as motivation for Friday's rematch in Cardiff, but as his side went through their captain's run there was justified confidence in the camp. A healthy combination of intensity and calm filled the crowdless Millennium Stadium as Sam Warburton puts Warren Gatland's squad through their paces before the Six Nations opener in the elements on Friday night. Halfpenny admitted the 29-18 turnaround on England's turf last year in which his boot provided Wales' only points weighed heavily on his team but that their win over South Africa at the end of the autumn gave them the boost they needed before taking on the northern hemisphere's finest.
