ENGLAND Under 20s coach Nigel Redman believes his "athletic and exciting" side can continue to improve after beating Wales 28-15 in their opening Six Nations game.

Noah Cato (Saracens), Miles Benjamin (Worcester Warriors) and Luke Eves (Bristol) scored superb tries with fly-half Alex Goode (Saracens) adding 13 points with two conversions and three penalties.

They did so after their forwards provided a steady set-piece platform and impressed with the ball in hand to please a 4,554 crowd at Kingsholm.

"I'd said in the week that this was a very athletic and exciting side and when we got in open spaces we were very good," said former England and Lions lock Redman. "For an hour we dominated the game, scored some terrific tries, had one disallowed and could have got a couple more.

"There were times in the game when things didn't go right and that gives us something to focus on.

"We'll bond together this week, iron out those errors of judgment and inaccuracies and move forward positively. Maybe if we'd nailed all the try chances it might have been detrimental to us in the long-term.

"My culture has always been to take people on with the ball in hand and I'm happy with how keen we were to do that.

"You don't get many wins at all against Wales at this age group level and this represented a good start to the Six Nations for us."
