England U20s change four for France decider at World Champs

have made four changes ahead of their U20s Championship pool decider against France tomorrow.
Charlie Beckett makes his first start of the tournament and Ellis Genge and James Chisholm re-claim their places at loosehead and No.8 as squad management continues.
James Mitchell is the only change in the backline from the side that beat Wales 30-16, stepping up at scrum-half after Stuart Townsend was ruled out of the rest of the tournament with a knee injury. 's Will Homer becomes the replacement No.9.
England last played France back in March and retained their Six Nations title with a 24-11 win. Now a place in the semi-final of the World U20 Championship is at stake given both sides have won their opening two pool matches.
Head Coach Jon Callard said: “It is important that we manage resources. It is about keeping players fit and fresh for the whole of the tournament and giving everyone an opportunity.
“Some will inevitably be disappointed when they miss out, but the squad we have selected is what we believe to be the best fit for this particular game.”
“We are just concentrating on ourselves. We are always trying to improve as a team, and develop the processes that go into being a good team, with capable and confident players. We are not worried about the outcome, that will take care of itself if we play to the best of our ability.
“I always enjoy playing against the French and watching them play.  They have flair and a well-drilled set piece which makes it a nice challenge for our team. Our scrum and lineout have improved game on game so to go against a strong French side will be a good test.
“I am expecting them to be solid up front and committed, and because of that French element of the unknown, we need to be sharp, always switched on and ready to respond to every eventuality.”
