Newcastle Falcons’ Ben Redshaw starts for England Under-20s on Friday when they take on Scotland Under-20s in Edinburgh, with club-mates Jacob Oliver and Ben Douglas on the bench.

Redshaw (pictured above) starts at outside centre, with hooker Oliver and scrum-half Douglas (pictured below) in reserve for a 7.15pm kick-off which is being shown live on the BBC Sport website and iPlayer.

England are unbeaten so far in this year’s Six Nations after winning 36-11 in Italy and 28-7 at home to Wales, with head coach Mark Mapletoft looking forward to Friday’s game at Hive stadium in the shadow of Murrayfield.

“After a fallow week in the Championship, the boys are raring to go and are determined to continue the strong start we’ve made to this year’s tournament,” said Mapletoft.

“Scotland pose a unique challenge and possess a physical threat at the breakdown and set-piece that will put our capabilities to the test. We can’t wait for what is in store this Friday in Edinburgh.

“An awful lot of work has gone into what England fans have seen on the pitch and we’re thankful for all the support we have received, it’s spurred us as a team on and we urge for more of the same in the forthcoming rounds.”
