Leicester Tigers fly-half George Ford will captain England Under-18 in what is expected to be the toughest test of the season against Wales at Swansea on Sunday.

England have won their last 15 capped internationals at Under-18 level since the summer of 2007, extending the run with victories against Australia (30-28), France (33-16) and Italy (28-12) in the last three months.

Head coach John Fletcher said: “I know Wales have prepared well and had good games against Leicester's Academy side and beat Scotland well, so we'll be expecting a very tough game.

"We've had a good season so far, we've built up some momentum and Wales will be a real challenge, which is what it's all about."

Ospreys starlet Tom Prydie, who became the youngest ever Wales cap when he appeared against Italy at the age of 18 years 27 days last weekend, is named in the hosts’ side.
