HOT prospect Miles Benjamin will start on the wing for England Under 20s when they begin their Six Nations campaign at Gloucester's Kingsholm ground tomorrow night (7.45pm).

Benjamin's fellow Worcester Warriors team-mates Jonny Arr and Matt Cox have been named on the replacements bench for the clash.

Wasps youngster Joe Simpson was originally due to start at scrum-half before picking up an ankle injury in training.

His setback handed Ben Youngs the number nine jersey, meaning Arr could take his place on the bench.

Coach Nigel Redman said: "We believe we've got a good balance to the side with lots of pace in the back three, power in midfield and a very mobile and athletic pack. We're very excited about working with this group of players."

Wales are particularly strong at age-group level and Redman warned that they might be this season's toughest opponents. He said: "Wales have produced some terrific young players and traditionally do very well at this level."
