(Reuters) - England defence coach John Mitchell expects Wales to do all they can to distract and disrupt the visitors in Saturday's Autumn Nations Cup match in Llanelli and says his players must be wary of provocation.

"It is really no surprise to anyone, they have always had a crack at Ben Youngs, Owen Farrell ... I also think they went hard at Kyle Sinckler a couple of times we've been down there," Mitchell told reporters.
