Newcastle Falcons’ Ben Redshaw starts on the wing for England on Sunday when they face Ireland in the semi-finals of the World Rugby U20 Championship.

The game at Cape Town’s DHL Stadium kicks off at 3.30pm UK time and is being live-streamed on RugbyPass TV (free registration required).

England went unbeaten through their pool campaign, defeating host nation South Africa (17-12), Argentina (41-20) and Fiji (48-11).

Head coach Mark Mapletoft said: “We’re extremely proud of the performances and consequent results from our pool stage matches. The calibre of opposition was at such a high standard and to raise the performance levels on the last day in such trying conditions showed our unity as a team.

“Our bond as a group has only strengthened and we’ve often found a way through the challenges thrown at us – it fills myself and the staff with immense pride and we know that is required again come this Sunday.

“We’ve had fantastic tests against Ireland over the last 12 months with nothing to separate the teams on the last two occasions. We know that will have to change this time around, but I have every confidence our boys will fight for the player next to them and re-assert that brotherhood in the toughest moments.”

The winner of Sunday’s semi-final will play either France or New Zealand in the final, which is being held in Cape Town on Friday July 19.
