Stephenson to lead England U18 in second tour match

Travis PerkinsSponsored by Travis Perkins

Two more Saints have been named in the team which will start against France in George tomorrow afternoon - fly half Sam Olver (Oundle School) and full back Howard Packman (Moulton College), with prop Danny Hobbs selected on the bench.

England held off Wales 28-25 in their opening match on tour. England also beat France the last time the two teams met, but head coach John Fletcher says that tomorrow's game is a different prospect.


"They're a big, strong side but we have something to gauge ourselves on now and we're looking forward to the challenge," he said. "We did well to get the win against them earlier in the season, but that was a few months back, this is a different match up in a different environment, but one we're looking forward to."
