England Under-18 suffered a first defeat of the season as they were beaten 29-19 by Wales Under-18s at Ebbw Vale on Sunday.  

Leicester Tigers academy prop Joe Heyes was among the England replacements after playing a part in the opening two wins against Scotland and France.
 
Two tries from No8 Sam Moore gave England a 12-10 half-time lead against Wales but scores from Dewi Cross, Harri Morgan and a penalty try in the second half have the hosts victory.
 
England now turn their attention to the Under-18 International Series which starts on April 8.
