George Ford and Matt Everard are included in the starting line-up for England Under-20s for Friday's Grand Slam decider against Ireland.

Head coach Rob Hunter has made six changes from the side that beat Scotland, with Leicester Tigers flanker Everard among those returning to the starting team alongside fly-half Ford.

England have four wins from four fixtures so far and Hunter said: “Ireland will be tough, they are the defending champions and they rarely lose in Athlone. We’ll be focusing purely on performance and matching the challenge that Ireland represent.”
