England U20s ring the changes for USA

England U20s have made 11 changes for their final IRB Junior World Championship Pool game against USA.
Despite a 31-24 defeat to South Africa last time out, a semi-final spot is still up for grabs but Nick Welshe’s men need a bonus point victory to stand any chance of progressing.
Northampton Saints scrum half Alex Day captains the side for the first team and the No.9 is relishing the opportunity.
He said: “It’s a massive honour to named captain for this game. It’s something that you dream of when you’re little and to achieve it is pretty exciting – I’m massively proud and I just want to go out there and do a good job.
“We’re staying in the same hotel as the USA and we know that they’re going to be up for it, but we’ve prepared well and we’re looking forward to the game.”
With seven changes coming in the forward division, Forwards Coach Ian Peel explains why he has freshened it up.
He said: “We’ve had two really physical Tests [against France and South Africa] and we just wanted to freshen things up.
“The guys who we’ve brought in have been coming off the bench and now it’s their turn to start and make an impact from the get-go. We’ve got a really strong squad we want to use everybody – it keeps bodies fresh and we have full confidence in the whole squad.”
