Tosh Askew, England U19 Manager/Coach, today announced the England U19 team to play Wales U19 on Friday 21st February, at Llanelli RFC, kick off 7.00pm.

Tosh Askew said, "There are three changes to the forward pack that played France. The changes are not the result of poor performances, but a chance for the coaching team to have a look at different players. I thought we lacked something physically against the French but I think we have the chance to put that right for this match. We've had to contend with one or two injury doubts, but our medical team have
worked hard to get everyone fit again.

"The squad has trained very well all week. They are all really up and ready for it and fired up by the chance to put right what they see as a sub standard performance against the French. I have called James Graham into the squad after several good performances for Bath U21 and I'm looking forward to him making the most of his chance."
