England U20s change one to face Ireland

Archie White will start at blindside in the only change made to the England U20s starting XV that will take on Ireland at Kingston Park tomorrow night.
White takes over from Bath’s Zach Mercer in the back row and he will line up alongside captain Callum Chick who will play in front of his home crowd.
There is one change on the bench with loosehead Jake Pope named in the place of the injured Ralph Adams-Hale.
England currently sit in third place in the table level with Scotland who provided a tough challenge on the opening weekend.  Following a 24-6 defeat England bounced back in Italy with a 42-6 win and are hoping to build on the form shown in the last round.
“Against Italy we put some nice patterns of play together, our game understanding was stronger and our game management was better,” said head coach Jon Callard.
“That improvement came about from having more time together and having the experience of a good hit out against Scotland.
“We always said we would need that first game against Scotland to really know where we were at, and unfortunately we came up short that day, but rectified it the following week in tough conditions.
“Against Ireland it is a different surface again. The 4G means it is going to be quick game and we need to be sharp around the breakdown.
“Our defence must be solid and we need to know our roles and responsibilities.  In attack, it is simply about being clinical and taking the opportunities when we have identified them.”
