England captain Jamie George expects to be "very emotional" when he leads out the team for the first time in a Six Nations match at Twickenham.

George's reign as skipper began with victory in Rome, but he says walking out at a sold-out home of English rugby to face Wales will be "special".

 

"It's huge. It's a dream come true," George told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"Being at Twickenham, singing the anthem and that walkout will be a very emotional moment for me."

George, who will win his 87th cap on Saturday, added: "I never thought I would be in this position."

England were beaten in a World Cup warm-up game by Fiji in their last match at Twickenham, five months after slumping to their record home defeat against France in the Six Nations.

England are unchanged from their opening win over Italy and George, 33, says the players are excited about the visit of rivals Wales.

"I think it's special it's against Wales. The first thing you think of is the history of the fixture," said George.

"Our recent record at Twickenham has been poor and we have been very outspoken about how we want Twickenham to be great again, so we have the responsibility to do that and what a privilege that is.
