Butler and Hill named in England Under 20s squad

Will Butler and Ted Hill have both been named in the England Under 20s squad to face Scotland in the Under 20s Six Nations at Franklin’s Gardens on Saturday (kick-off 6.15pm).

Butler will start at inside centre while Hill, who scored for England Under 18s in their 43-14 victory over France last weekend, has been named on the bench. 

A bonus-point win could see England secure their sixth Under 20 Six Nations title with a game remaining if Wales beat Ireland at Eirias Park.

England Under 20s coach Ian Vass said: “It is credit to the environment and the pool of players that selection is so competitive. 

“We work hard on improving each week and there is a positive mind-set in camp so hopefully we can produce another good performance.

“Scotland have shown so far in the competition they are dangerous on the attack and they will come at us hard, but we just need to focus on how we perform.”
