England U20 side to face Ireland announced
England U20 men head coach Alan Dickens has named his team to face Ireland in the Six Nations U20 Summer Series.
The starting side remains largely unchanged from the team that beat France last week, with uncapped Alex Harmes set to make his first appearance at left wing, and blind side flanker Ethan Staddon moving from the bench to start.
- Kick-off 7pm BST on Tuesday 5 July

"The players really gave it their all against France and to score four tries and secure a bonus point was well deserved," said Dickens. "We know we will need to maintain focus on our discipline in the final pool game against Ireland who, as we experienced in the Six Nations Championship, are a strong side."
