The starting side features a few changes to the team that lost to Ireland in the last game, with Sam Harris, Tom Carr-Smith, Lucas Brooke and Charlie Rice all moving from the bench to start and George Hendy changing from fullback to left wing.

England men’s U20 head coach, Alan Dickens, speaking ahead of the play off said:??
