The Cardiff Blues flanker has been outstanding in Wales’ opening two victories against France and Italy, earning the man of the match award in Rome.
And despite the impressive nature of England’s wins against Ireland and France, Navidi is confident Warren Gatland’s men will be ready when the two sides meet in Cardiff a week on Saturday.
“The England game is going to get hyped up a lot, but we need to just focus on ourselves,” Navidi said.
“We were disappointed with the performance in Italy, but a win is a win. We know we’ve got a lot of things to work on to be prepared for England.

 England is always going to be built up as the big match of the Six Nations. We need to focus on ourselves, do everything we can in training, and hopefully we can get the result.
“We knew it was going to be a tough old game against Italy, but we’ll take it. We know where we are at and now we’ve got a big couple of weeks to build into the England game.
“We need to improve and keep the momentum going.”

Wales are in the midst of a record equalling run of 11 straight victories and as was proved against Italy, head coach Warren Gatland has arguably more strength in depth at his disposal than in the past.

Navidi believes the competition for places in the back-row has made him a better player.
“We’re breeding some good back-rowers at the moment,” said the dread-locked flanker.

 “There is pressure because boys are always coming through, but that’s great. We could be in England’s position where they are looking for a seven. We have a number coming through in Wales.

”I was happy to get man of the match against Italy, but the win was more important.”
