Saints Academy duo in for World title shot

Travis PerkinsSponsored by Travis Perkins

Saints half-backs Alex Mitchell and James Grayson have been named in the England squad for Sunday afternoon's World Rugby Under-20 Championship final in Georgia.

Mitchell, a scorer of three tries en route to the showpiece in Tbilisi, has featured in every game so far while for Grayson, it would mark a Championship debut to go with the Six Nations bow he made earlier in the year - despite still being a year underage.

Though England are targeting a fourth title overall, standing in their way are the only other unbeaten side in 2017 and record holders of five, New Zealand, who swept aside France in the semi-finals.

Kick off is at 4pm UK time and the game is being shown live on ITV 4.
