Kath McCarthy | 22/12/2006

Rodney Parade will host the Wales v England U20 fixture on Friday 16th March, Kick Off 7.40pm.  Dragons skills coach Dai Rees is head coach to the Welsh U20's who have announced their squad for the forthcoming Six Nations. Of the squad of 29, ten are playing their rugby in The Dragons region and five have played for The Dragons senior side.

The Wales U20 side will play its first match on Wednesday January 17th against the Welsh Clubs XV at Caerphilly RFC as they prepare for the Six Nations Championship.  

Speaking on the squad selection Dai Rees said, "We are pleased with the strength in the current squad, many of whom were part of the Under 19 Grand Slam squad last year. Four players have already gained experience on the senior international Sevens circuit this season and more of these players could earn Sevens call-ups this season. A core of these players could still go on to represent Wales at the IRB Under 21 World Championships in 2008 which is fantastic in terms of their development pathway.
