England celebrate their victory over Wales [Getty Images]
England began their bid to regain the U20 Six Nations title with a tense 19-16 victory over Wales at Northampton's Franklin's Gardens on Friday.
The result avenged England's defeat by Wales in the final match of last year's tournament which denied them a Grand Slam and handed the title to France.
Bath back row Connor Treacey leads the side this year, having previously been captain at under-18 and under-19 level.
Highly-rated Saracens wing Noah Caluori, who was in the running to be part of Steve Borthwick's senior squad, and Harlequins scrum-half Lucas Friday are two of the stars of the squad.
England have won 10 U20 Six Nations titles – twice as many as any other team - and last lifted the trophy in 2024.
Andy Titterell's side play Scotland - who thrashed Italy 36-10 in their opening match - in Edinburgh on Friday, while Ireland host Italy in Cork.
Wales host reigning champions France on Saturday.
You can watch live coverage of every match throughout the tournament on BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and the BBC Sport app, with some matches also available on the Red Button.
