Welsh rugby star Sam Warburton

Welsh rugby star Sam Warburton has compared arch‑rivals England to world champions New Zealand ahead of Sunday’s Six Nations clash in Cardiff.

Grand Slam champions England will arrive in the Welsh capital aiming for a 16th successive Test match win.

The All Blacks hold the world record of 18 straight international wins by a tier‑one nation but another Six Nations clean sweep this season would see England go one better.

Warburton says England deserve the tag of the best rugby team in the Northern Hemisphere.

Wales will play England at 4.50am Sunday.
