Trio to start U20 Six Nations clash

Rice earns a first start of the competition in the England second row, while Bailey starts a third successive game on the wing. Lloyd retains the Wales number 10 shirt as they look to build on the round two victory over Scotland.

With England suffering a shock defeat to Italy in the last round, Wales Head Coach Byron Hayward is expecting the home side to throw the kitchen sink at Wales as they try to get back to winning ways.

“They’ll be feeling like what we were after the Ireland game,” he said. “You’re going back home coming off the back of a defeat and you certainly want to put the score right and redress the balance.

“They are going to be physical and up for it but we hope we have picked a team prepared for that physical battle and stay in the fight and I think if we are in the game in the last 20 minutes anything could happen.”

England Head Coach eight changes to the starting line-up from England’s game against Italy in the second round of the championship.
 
“We had a tough game against Italy but we have had almost two weeks to reflect, analyse and plan for our game against Wales," he said. 
 
“There’s been a great energy in camp this week with some more new faces involved. 
 
“This week the focus has been on us and what we can control. That said, we will need to have the ability to tactically adapt within the game situation.
 
“Having home crowd support at Castle Park will bolster the boys as we take on a competitive Welsh side.”
