Travis PerkinsSponsored by Travis Perkins

England U18s head coach John Fletcher has named Ollie Sleightholme among his side to face Wales at Sardis Road in Pontypridd on Sunday (4.15pm KO).

Just a week after signing his first professional contract with the Club, Sleightholme has been handed his first appearance in the white jersey during the side's final game before the Six Nations Festival gets underway.

England Under-18 head coach John Fletcher said: “It’s really exciting to be playing in Wales, it’s a great test, we like the atmosphere and it is a good environment for the players to perform in.

“The aim is always to be better and to improve. As ever we want the players to express themselves both sides of the ball. We want the players to try things and not to be fearful about making mistakes. We want them to explore and bring their strengths to the game.”
