Cron names U20s side for crucial clash against England
The BMW Australia U20s side to take on England in the final Pool A match of the World Rugby U20s Championship in Georgia has been named as Australia looks to progress to the Semi Final stages of the competition.

Having made nine changes for the match against Samoa, Cron has brought back several players into the starting lineup including Captain Reece Hewat, Izaia Perese, Ryan McCauley, Sham Vui and Liam Wright.

Australia currently sits second in Pool A on nine points behind last year’s U20s Champions, England, on ten points with the winner of the match to top the pool. Should Australia lose the match, the young men in gold would have to rely on results in other two pools going their way in order to claim the fourth-place wild card position in the Semi Finals.

BMW Australia U20s Head Coach, Simon Cron said: “We left opportunities on the field against Samoa and you can’t afford to do that against the top teams however the players are better for having another game together.

“England is a good side and our boys are keen to get on the field and play and represent our country in the gold jersey once again.”

The Australia v England U20s Pool A match will be broadcast live at 2.30am EST, Friday 9 June on Fox Sports.
