Two Pembrokeshire-bred rugby players have been selected to play for Wales under-20s against England on Friday night.

Scarlets’ centre Scott Williams and prop Simon Gardiner, both capped last season, are delighted to retain their places for the opening Six Nations clash at Kingsholm, Gloucester.

Wales coach Phil Davies said: “England is a tough challenge for the opening weekend of games, they are a side full of talent, but it’s a challenge I believe our players will be ready for and I’m looking forward to seeing them as a unit.”
