Wales have named their side for their final game of the 2016 World Rugby U20 Championships, making six changes for their 7^th place play off against Scotland.

The game kicks off at 16.30 at the Manchester City Academy Stadium, and offers a chance for Wales to prove a point after they conceded over 70 points to New Zealand on Monday.

They bring in Rhun Williams and Harri Millard to the backline after they have recovered from injury, as well as the incoming Harrod Evans at fly half. Morgan Sieniawski makes a first start at openside, as does Bryce Morgan in the second row, with Dafydd Hughes coming in at hooker.

Skipper Tom Phillips is out with illness so the captaincy is handed to number 8 Harrison Keddie.

Speaking to www.wru.co.uk Head Coach Jason Strange said:

“The boys are determined to put in a good performance in response to Monday night’s defeat and in order to finish the tournament and the season on a high. Scotland will provide a tough challenge – we won a very tight game in the Six Nations and Scotland have beaten England and Australia this season.”

“While it was disappointing to lose heavily on Monday, it is not a true reflection of our season. Our main purpose is to develop players and learn about them, which we have done without a doubt, especially in the Six Nations, and we have been able to give other players opportunities during this tournament through call-ups and injury, which is positive for the future. We must also continue to develop our strength in depth, a need that is emphasised when you play the likes of New Zealand twice in five days with a depleted squad.

“Having said that, injuries and unavailability are part and parcel of sport, and there’s no doubt our players will grow stronger and learn lessons from the adversity they are experiencing at the moment.”
