The England U20 side has made a dozen of changes to their lineup that will take on Fiji tomorrow morning from the team that drew 34-all with Ireland last week at the Junior World Rugby Championship.

Coach Mark Mapletoft has named 5 debutants in his side for tomorrow’s second-round clash and says it will not be an easy game against Fiji.

Mapletoft says the Baby Flying Fijians gave the Junior Wallabies a good run for their money last week and it is with no doubt they will be looking to up the tempo again this week.

Meanwhile, Fiji will want to secure a win this week to keep their hopes of making the playoffs alive.

Australia currently leads pool C with 5 points followed by England and Ireland with 2 points each while Fiji is fourth with 1 point.

Fiji will take on England at 5am tomorrow.
