Cherry & Whites Quartet Set For U-20 Duty

Seabrook will make his debut at U-20 level, whilst Seville makes his first appearance in this season’s tournament. Hinkley returns in the back after his try scoring debut two weeks ago against Wales.

Scotland call in Charlie Chapman as the junior side search for their first win of the Championship as the two sides clash at Myreside tomorrow.

England head coach Steve Bates’s side have recorded bonus point victories of the opening two rounds of the U-20 Six Nations against Italy and Wales reflectively.

Bates said: “We are looking for another step forward in terms of our intent to play rugby.

“We had a much-improved performance against Wales, but we are still looking to improve in certain areas of our game which we felt did not go quite as well as we would have liked.

“We saw some good individual performances against Wales, now we want to play cohesively as a team.

“Scotland at home will be dangerous opponents, their previous results are not necessarily an indicator of a side’s potential as it takes a while to get together as a team in this tournament and we’re expecting a spirited performance off them.

“It’s the curtain raiser to the big game on Saturday and they will want to set the tone so we’ll be ready for a passionate Scotland team.”

Ollie Lawrence, Tom Seabrook and Cadan Murley all make their debuts at U20 level, bringing the total number of new caps used by England in the tournament to 20.
