Luke Eves (England) and Ryan Prosser (Wales) have today both been named for their first starts of the U20 Junior World Cup.
Both England and Wales make numerous changes for their second fixture of the tournament. Four players make their first starts of the season for England and six more make their first starts of the tournament.
England opened the tournament by scoring six tries in a 41-17 win over Fiji, while the Canadians were beaten 81-12 by Australia.
Coach Nigel Redman’s side go on to face Australia on June 14 at Newport and almost certainly need to win all three of their Pool C games to book a semi-final place against Pool B winners – likely to be South Africa – at the Arms Park in Cardiff on June 18.
