Head Coach Rob Hunter lavished praised on his unbeaten England Under-20 team after a convincing 19-8 win over their French counterparts in Worcester on Sunday.
Hunter commended the way his side stepped up to the physical battle against Les Bleus as winger Jamie Elliott scored the only try of the match.
Like their senior counterparts, England Under-20s now have three wins from three and Hunter was quick to applaud a gritty performance.
“The conditions were quite heavy but it was the same for both sides so we’ve got no complaints there, it was a great Test match to be involved in,” said Hunter.
“We head into a fallow week now before we play Scotland – I think it’s fair to say that I’d prefer to keep the lads in camp but hopefully the rest will do them good and they’ll come back raring to go in a week’s time.”
England will look to carry their momentum over the break at Newbury on March 11th against a Scotland side who have scored just eight points from their three matches so far.
But captain Alex Gray maintains England must not lapse into complacency.
He said: “We’re happy with how it’s all been going so far in this 6 Nations campaign.
“But the boys have all put a huge amount of effort in – these wins aren’t happening by accident, they’re the result of a lot of hard work being done behind closed doors in our camps.”
