The Oundle School fly half has received the nod from head coach John Fletcher after an 18-point haul in last Saturday's Premiership Rugby Academies League win over Newcastle. Also included in the squad is lock Jordan Onojaife (Stowe School), who debuted for the Under-18s in last weekend's comprehensive win over Scotland.
Fletcher has rung the changes from the team which ran nine tries past the Scots, and says that this week's game will be a stern test for those brought in.
"Playing Wales in Wales is always a challenge but it's one we're looking forward to," he commented. "This is our September 1st team so we've been able to bring a few more experienced players into the match day squad for this game and we're looking forward to seeing how they get on."
Meanwhile two other Junior Saints, centre Lewis Jones (Moulton College) and scrum-half Ben Pointon (Rugby School) have been included in the England Under-18 Clubs and Schools squad that will play Bedford Blues at the Surrey Sports Centre on Sunday lunchtime.
