England’s primary motivation is to “win well” against Wales rather than think about their Six Nations title chances, says number eight Ben Earl.
Steve Borthwick’s side will win the championship on Saturday if they beat Wales with the bonus point in Cardiff and France fail to beat Scotland at Stade de France.
England, who sit second in the table after one defeat by Ireland, play before Les Bleus, meaning they will not know at the final whistle whether they have done enough.
“We want to go and win for a number of different reasons,” the 27-year-old told BBC’s Rugby Union Weekly podcast.
“The context of the Six Nations and what could happen is very low down that list, we are talking about growing ourselves as a team and finding an identity.
“We want to win and win well. We want to go and perform, we know how hard it is going to be.
“Wales under the roof at the Principality is a completely different entity than anywhere else in the world.
“We want to go and win and then see where we are at the end of the game.”
