FORMER Warlingham player Chris Robshaw says England can make rugby history in today's Grand Slam against Wales. The England Skipper, who will lead the national team out against 73,000 people in today's monumental RBS Six Nations decider, told a national newspaper: "You are always judged on your next game and this is exactly what this is. "It's a huge occasion and there is a massive opportunity for us to become part of rugby history if we deliver what we've talked about." It will be the former Warlingham Minis player's first experience of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. "People say it is one of the best places to go and play rugby in," he told the BBC. "The atmosphere the Welsh and the travelling fans create is something special. We are fully aware of that and we need to make sure we are not overwhelmed by it. "We want to go out there and achieve something very special. Hopefully if we get the fine detail right, things will take care of themselves. "Whether it is the half-back combination or the front row, there are key battles everywhere, but it is about a team performance and that collective unity." England just require victory to secure their first Championship clean sweep in a decade, but will still win a second title in three years if they lose by six points or less. Wales will retain their title if they win by eight points, or seven if England do not score three more tries than them. If they win the Grand Slam, each England player will secure a £25,000 bonus. England flanker Tom Croft said the team had learned from past mistakes. He said: "We must get the upper hand early on." England assistant coach Graham Rowntree believes England can succeed provided they stick to the game-plan that served them well until last Sunday's scratchy win against Italy. Kick-off's today at 5pm.
