The Dragons star will pack down alongside skipper Jac Morgan and Taulupe Faletau in a back row trio that is gearing up for a showdown with the Curry brothers and Ben Earl in Saturday’s Six Nations finale.
Wainwright has enjoyed some glorious moments in the back row in the past at internationanl level, including a Grand Slam triumph in 2019 and helping Wales reach number one in World Rugby’s rankings.
“That win over England [in 2019] was one of the best days I have had in a Welsh jersey. Any time I speak about the atmosphere at the Principality Stadium that is up there with the loudest I have ever heard it,” said Wainwright.
“The Ireland game at home a few weeks ago was the closest it has been to that for a while. If the fans can deliver something like that, get behind us and give us that energy and edge, it will definitely spur us on.
“The noise is massive, it adds to those moments on the pitch. If you get a couple of carries and the crowd gets right behind you it motivates you to try and make the next one.
“The same as defence. When a couple of boys put in big shots you hear the crowd getting their backs up and it spurs us on.”
