Six young Saints will take to the international stage again this weekend as England and Scotland U20s continue with their Six Nations campaign.
For England, James Grayson, Fraser Dingwall and Toby Trinder all start, with Ehren Painter beginning their fixture against tournament leaders France on the bench.
Grayson makes the switch to full back with Dingwall starting in midfield once again. Trinder, after his consistent performances, retains his position at loosehead, with Painter ready to finish the fixture from the bench.
Whereas Scotland have opted to start both Devante Onojaife and Fraser Strachan for their clash with Ireland in after the pair impressed in last weekend’s victory over England.
And with Onojaife and Strachan both among the starting line up, the Scots will be hoping for a repeat of the last round as they face Ireland on Friday night.
