England's primary motivation is to "win well" against Wales rather than think about their Six Nations title chances, says number eight Ben Earl.

Steve Borthwick's side will win the championship on Saturday if they beat Wales with the bonus point in Cardiff and France fail to beat Scotland at Stade de France.

England, who sit second in the table after one defeat by Ireland, play before Les Bleus, meaning they will not know at the final whistle whether they have done enough.

"We want to go and win for a number of different reasons," the 27-year-old told BBC's Rugby Union Weekly podcast.

"The context of the Six Nations and what could happen is very low down that list, we are talking about growing ourselves as a team and finding an identity.

"We want to win and win well. We want to go and perform, we know how hard it is going to be.

"Wales under the roof at the Principality is a completely different entity than anywhere else in the world.

"We want to go and win and then see where we are at the end of the game."

Wales have lost 16 successive internationals and are bottom of the table, hoping to avoid another Wooden Spoon.

Arguably Wales' best performance this campaign came in defeat against Ireland, in their only other home fixture.

On Tuesday, lock Dafydd Jenkins said the hosts cannot let England realise their Six Nations title ambitions in Cardiff.

"It is liberating in a way," Earl said about the intense atmosphere as an away player.

"Those are the games you remember more, there is something about winning away, backs against the wall stuff where you feel the whole stadium is against you.

"It is special as you know if you don't bring your best then it is going to be really hard."

Despite his side struggling this Six Nations, Wales captain Jac Morgan has stood out as one of the best flankers in the tournament.

Saracens' Earl was full of praise for Morgan and is looking forward to challenging himself against the Wales skipper.

The back row remains one of the most competitive spots to tour with the British and Irish Lions this summer, with both players in a strong position.

"He has been truly phenomenal and the standard bearer for their team in almost every facet of the game, almost every time he has pulled on the Wales jersey," Earl added.
