England u20 coach John Callard wants his side to show they are the best of their generation in the World u20 Championship final against New Zealand.

He has named the same team that beat South Africa 28-20 in the semi-final as England go in search of their third u20 world title in succession.

England have not faced New Zealand since beating them 33-21 in the 2013 semi-final before defeating Wales to clinch the title.

And Callard is wary of the challenge this final will pose his young side.

"New Zealand are a very exciting and challenging proposition for us," added Callard.

"They have a powerful squad who play with width and pace. We need to be strong in the set piece and smart in our game management.

"I'm hoping that it will be a great advert for the game as the boys look to show that they are the best in their generation at this particular time.

"The squad performed heroically in the semi-final and they deserve another opportunity. That is, however, unfortunate for the others who have been pushing and training hard.

"I am grateful that I have 28 enthusiastic and energised players who want to give this their best shot whether on the field or by supporting the preparations of those who are.

"We were all pleased with the semi-final but feel that we left a bit out there. We were a little exposed at the end so there have been lots of key learnings from that game."
