Head Coach John Fletcher has made nine changes from the side that beat Australia A Schools 27-0 on Wednesday and says that the squad are excited about the forthcoming Test match. He said: “It’s a big test for us but we’re really looking forward to it, we’ve got two wins under our belts and performed well in both. It’s always a challenge to play southern hemisphere teams, but we enjoy the challenge and will be looking to win." England defeated an Australian Invitational U19 side 19-8 in their first match, before beating Australian A Schools in a bruising encounter. Fletcher added: “The first two games were physical encounters, as we knew they would be, and a couple of the lads took knocks, but the remaining 23 players will feature in the squad.” England U18 side to face Australia Schools 15 Jack Nowell (Truro College & Exeter Chiefs) Replacements 16 Max Crumpton (Oaklands College & Saracens) |
