Emeka Ilione will lead England Under-20s for a second successive Test, against France on Wednesday (June 29) in Italy.
The Leicester Tigers back-rower is joined by club-mates Lewis Chessum and Jed Walsh in the matchday squad for England's second fixture of the Six Nations Under-20 Summer Series in Italy.
Ilione was a try-scorer in the round one game against South Africa and starts in the back-row again on Wednesday, with Chessum included again in the starting second-row for the match at the Payanini Centre, Verona.
Speaking ahead of the game, England U20s Head Coach Alan Dickens said: “Taking the positives from our game against South Africa has been important as we prepare for tomorrow’s game.
“The three tries from Stewart, Ilione and Oresanya were pleasing and to perform against France, who had a strong start against Ireland in the first round, we need to keep focus on our set piece and maintain our discipline.
“The players have been training hard and are looking forward to facing France in round two.”
