England's Under 18 side face their toughest test of the season against a Wales side containing RBS 6 Nations starlet Tom Prydie at Swansea on Sunday (2.30pm).

The Ospreys' teenager became Wales's youngest international player when he appeared against Italy at the age of 18 years 27 days last weekend.

England have won their last 15 capped internationals at this level since the summer of 2007, extending the run with victories against Australia (30-28), France (33-16) and Italy (28-12) in the last three months.

And head coach John Fletcher, who makes nine changes to the side that won in Calvisano, is relishing their difficult assignment at St Helen's.

"Playing Wales anywhere is tough, particularly in Wales," said Fletcher. "I know they've prepared well and had good games against Leicester's U19 side and played and beat Scotland well, so we'll be expecting a very tough game.

"We've had a good season so far, prepared well and done well in the games against Australia, France and Italy.

"We've built up some momentum and Wales will be a real challenge, which is what it's all about - we're really excited about facing them."

Dulwich College and Harlequins lock Sam Twomey has recovered from the knee injury that forced him out of England's last two internationals and hooker Koree Britton (Ivybridge Coll & Exeter Chiefs), tight head Anthony Brennan (Twyford CofE & London Wasps) and flanker Chris Walker (Prince Henry's GS Otley & Leeds Carnegie) all return in the pack.

There are five changes to the back line with Marland Yarde (Whitgift & London Irish) and Charlie Walker (Oakham) in on the wings, Elliot Daly (Whitgift & London Wasps) and Ryan Mills (Hartpury Coll & Gloucester) restored in midfield and Joel Hodgson (RGS Newcastle & Newcastle Falcons) taking over at scrum half.
