Wales have only won twice at Twickenham in the Six Nations.

One of those came in February 2012, when a 23-year-old Warburton had redemption in his mind just months after being red-carded in a narrow World Cup semi-final defeat by France.

“Twickenham was an amazing stadium as the Welsh would travel down and it was a phenomenal atmosphere,” he tells Rugby Union Daily. “Outside the Principality, it was my favourite place to play.

“Walking through the crowd is quite daunting if you’re young. I just got sent off four months before at the World Cup and got recognised a lot more for that.

“As I got to the door, there was a little fire escape and some England fan shouted: ‘Warburton it was a red card.’ That was massive motivation for me. That one little moment.”

Warburton produced a man-of-the-match performance in a 19-12 victory including an iconic try-saving tackle on Manu Tuilagi.

“It was my first win at Twickenham and not many of the lads, as a young team, had won there,” he says.

“When you played at Twickenham, you got a different energy from the boys on the field.”
