@Source: walesonline.co.uk
Richard Whiffin has made wholesale changes to his Wales U20s side for their final pool game of the World Rugby U20s Championship against Spain U20s today. Wales need to win to avoid the threat of getting relegated into the second tier World Rugby Trophy competition next season. Whiffin's side have played very well in patches but ultimately slipped to two narrow defeats against both Argentina and France. The challenge for Wales this time round is to pick up the full five points to ensure they play in the second tier of the knock-out phase. Never before have they been placed in the 9th-12th Place Play-Off section, when the bottom four sides have had to battle to avoid relegation. The Spaniards are currently one point ahead of Wales after picking up two bonus points in their defeat to Los Pumitas. Whiffin has made 10 changes with outside-half Harri Wilde and wing Elijah Evans the only backs who retain their places in the starting XV. Ospreys full-back Lewis Edwards wins his first cap Scarlets' Elis Price and Cardiff's Osian Darwin-Lewis start in midfield. New Swansea RFC signing Ellis Lewis replaces Sion Davies at scrum-half. Up front prop Ioan Emanuel, flanker Deian Gwynne and captain Harry Beddall are the only forwards who retain their starting places. Evan Wood comes in at hooker while Jac Pritchard starts at tighthead prop with Luke Evans and Nick Thomas at lock. The game is only live on Rugby Pass TV with kick-off at 2.30pm. You can follow updates below this afternoon Wales Under-20s: Lewis Edwards; Elijah Evans, Osian Darwin-Lewis, Elis Price, Aidan Boshoff; Harri Wilde, Ellis Lewis; Ioan Emanuel, Evan Wood, Jac Pritchard, Luke Evans, Nick Thomas, Deian Gwynne, Caio James, Harry Beddall (capt). Replacements: Jake Bowen, Owain James, Sam Scott, Dan Gemine, Evan Minto, Sion Davies, Harri Ford, Jack Woods.
