Hello all and welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of the opening day of the World Rugby U20 Championship. In this clash, we have two-time winners and hosts England, who take on European counterparts, Italy, in Manchester. Both sides have not come into this competition with an abundance of confidence following disappointing U20 6 Nations campaigns. England managed to pick up only one win from a possible 5, with their only victory coming against opponents, Italy, who were without a win in the campaign. England do however welcome rising star Harry Malinder into the fray, who is sure to make a big impact. This opening day has already seen some upsets with Scotland defeating Australia and Ireland beating Wales, can Italy add to the tally?
