Richmond’s Kimberley Davey and Victoria Cornborough were named among the replacements for England’s U20s Nations Cup clash against Wales at Brunel University this week.

England Women Under 20s Head Coach Giselle Mather has announced her team for the penultimate round of the Nations Cup, which sees the Red Roses take on Wales at Brunel University on Wednesday, kick off 7pm.

Mather has once again made a raft of changes, giving her entire Nations Cup squad the chance to impress ahead of Saturday's final or play-offs. Only three players; Kettering's Lizell Heather, Leeds' Charlotte Wild and Bath's Marlie Packer start their second game in succession.

England so far have an impressive clean sheet in the tournament beating Canada 47-0 in the tournament opener and then the USA 42-7 on Sunday. Wales meanwhile have one win under their belt against Canada.

England last met Wales in April and ran out 26-8 winners in Cowlyn Bay but Mather is expecting a much tougher test this time around. She said: "When Wales beat Canada on Sunday they played really well so we are taking this match very seriously.

"We may have beaten Wales earlier this season, but we also remember how well Wales played against us in the final of the Nations Cup a year ago. We won that match 14-0 but it could easily have gone the other way so I know this will be a very tough match and nothing like the game we played in Cowlyn Bay. This is a big game, and with so much at stake for both sides we have to be on top of our game."

Also in action on Wednesday is Canada versus the USA, kick off 5pm.
