Three out of three for Under-20s

England Under-20s - with Tigers Academy forward Tom Price starting in the second row - made it three wins from three in this season's Under-20 Six Nations, beating Italy 42-7 in Rovigo.

Tries from Sam Hill, Charlie Walker, Ben Ransom, Josh Bassett and Dan Robson (2) secured the win, while Henry Slade and Tommy Bell kicked six points each.

Price was sin-binned just after England had opened the scoring during the first half in what looked like a case of mistaken identity, but the loss seemed to spur on the visitors who quickly added a second score.

England also lost back-rower Matt Kvesic to a yellow card in the build-up to the Italy try, but they began the second half strongly and pulled away to complete a hat-trick of wins.

England coach Rob Hunter said: “We’ve got plenty to work on, but we have to remember to enjoy our wins, we’ve scored six tries and got ourselves another Test win away from home. We have a lot of strength in depth, so there are plenty of positives to take.”
