Leicester Tigers Academy second-rower Tom Price retains his place in the England Under-20 side for Friday's match against Italy in Rovigo.

Price made his debut in the 59-3 victory over Scotland last weekend and stays in the No4 shirt in a team showing six changes.

Harlequins centre Chris Walker captains the side in the absence of fly-half George Ford who has returned to Leicester Tigers, while Anthony Watson, Sam Hill, Josh Bassett, Tommy Bell, Scott Spurling and Dominic Barrow all come into the side.

England beat Italy 74-3 in last year's Six Nations competition, with Andy Short and Elliot Daly both scoring four tries.
