SOON to depart Wales coach Steve Hansen, pictured, is unconcerned if he finishes his two-year tenure in charge without a major scalp.

He gets his last chance on Saturday when Wales play world champions England at Twickenham after a Six Nations record of two wins from 12, against Italy and Scotland, and an overall record of 19 defeats in 29.

But though he would obviously like a victory, he is content that he believes he has put the structures in place for future success.

And he believes that success is just around the corner.

"It goes without saying it would be nice to beat England, but at the end of the day I'm not going to crawl up and die in a hole if we don't and say the whole two years have been a waste of time," he said. "Saturday's not about me, even if we were to win. What it would do for the team is more important.

"It would really boost their confidence and reinforce their self belief and give them a reward for all the hard work they're doing.

"But that's going to happen sooner or later. Whether it happens during the Six Nations or on the Summer tour of Argentina and South Africa, I don't think it's far away.

"We weren't far away two weeks ago against France though part of our game was poor for various reasons. "When you're trying to teach two of your front five to be a tight head or a lock it's a technichal nightmare really.

"But slowly and surely we're getting there and one of the things I'm looking forward to on Saturday is to see if we've made some more progress.

"What we have achieved is that we've got the ball rolling, we've got a foundation now that we can build on and that's what we set out to do.

"If we manage to beat England at the weekend, that's great for all the reasons I've just mentioned. "But it's not about me sitting back and saying 'hey, I beat England.' That's irrelevant. It's about those kids getting to a stage where they can beat England every week."

In the World Cup Wales outscored England by three tries to one in defeat and since their World Cup triumph there have been retirements and signs of unrest in Sir Clive Woodward's camp. But Hansen reads little into all that.

"After two years of everybody talking about what's happening in our camp and getting 95% of it wrong, "I'm not going to sit here and bother about what's happening in someone else's," he said.

"There's no doubt it (Wales' World Cup display against England) gives you confidence, but other than that all you can take from the game is the learning experience."

But he added: "They're like everybody else. They are human beings and human beings have habits and habits, if they're bad, create weaknesses.

"But I'm not going to say before the game what I think their weaknesses are."
