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.

Meanwhile, Wales U20 Head Coach Patrick Horgan has made 10 changes to the starting line-up for his side's Junior World Championship Match day two encounter with Japan at the Liberty Stadium (Tuesday, 10 June at 7.10pm).

Wales beat Italy 29-10 on Friday night and with five matches in 17 days, Horgan says it's about giving all the squad the chance to compete for a place in the side to face France in the final Pool D match on Saturday (5.00pm).
