Newcastle Falcons stars Will Welch, Tom Catterick and Alex Gray all started for England Under-20s on Friday, as they defeated Wales 41-14 in Gloucester.

Despite England's victory in the opening round of the Under-20s Six Nations, there was disappointment for Gray as he received a red card for stamping in the five-try romp.

"To score five tries is a testament to the ambition we have," said head coach Mark Mapletoft.

"These guys can play and they've just got to have that self-belief."
