Nathan Catt and Billy Moss have both been named in the England squad for their opening match in the IRB Under-19 World Championship.
England take on Samoa at Shaw’s Bridge in Belfast tomorrow, and Catt and Moss, who are both props in the Bath Rugby Academy, will be looking to help their campaign get off to a good start.

England’s other matches in the group stages are against Argentina and New Zealand, and if they pick up two wins and two bonus points, England should qualify for the semi-finals.

At last year’s tournament in Dubai, England finished third.

Match schedule

April 5: Samoa v England (Shaw’s Bridge, 7.30pm)
April 9: Argentina v England (Belfast Harlequins, 7.30pm)
April 13: New Zealand v England (Ravenhill, 5.30pm)
April 17: Match Day Four
April 21: Match Day Five
