England Under 18 coaches John Fletcher, Pete Walton and Ian Peel have named their side to play Wales on Sunday March 10 at Swansea RFC, kick off 2.30pm.
England’s January 1st side enjoyed a good run out against Scotland last week, scoring nine-tries in their 57-13 win in Darlington, and nine members of that match day squad are in line to face Wales.
Head Coach Fletcher said: “Playing Wales in Wales is always a challenge but it’s one we’re looking forward to. This is our September 1st team so we’ve been able to bring a few more experienced players into the match day squad for this game and we’re looking forward to seeing how they get on.”
