Perfect England U20s beat Australia

England U20s have made it two from two at the Junior World Championship after beating Australia 38-24 today.
That is Nick Walshe’s side second bonus-point win in as many games putting them in control to win pool A and reach the semi-finals.
They led 24-17 at the break thanks to a brace from scrum-half Henry Taylor and one from Nathan Earle while Andrew Kellaway also went over twice for the Wallabies.
Wasps‘ Gus Jones and Jake McIntyre traded tries before Earle secured his own double on the hour mark to seal the deal for England.
They now take on Argentina in the last game of the group stages on Tuesday.
Captain Maro Itoje said: “Australia are a top side and coming into the game we had nothing but the utmost respect for them – they threw a lot at us but I thought we coped well.
“We really pulled together and showed a lot of heart and passion to get that result. I’m really happy with how the team performed, but again we feel that there’s still more to give.
“It was great to have the support of the seniors at the game. That meant a massive amount to the boys and we’re looking forward to watching their game tomorrow and then taking on Argentina on Tuesday.”
Forwards Coach Ian Peel added: “It was a really good test for us – both mentally and physically. The lads know they’ve been in a tough game; the forwards put in some excellent scrum work and our line out functioned well. We pressured them, stole some good ball and ultimately set up a strong platform.
“The breakdown was a big target area for us and I thought we came out on top, which is ultimately why we won the game. The matches come thick and fast, we’ve got a few bumps and bruises so we’ll recover well and get ready to go for Tuesday against Argentina.”
