WORCESTER flanker Matt Cox will start for England U19s against World Champion-ship rivals France tomorrow (4pm).

Warriors team-mates Miles Benjamin and Greg King drop to the bench for the game, which is the final warm-up outing before the championship kicks off on April 5.

"The side we've picked is an exciting one," said captain Hugo Ellis, the London Wasps youngster who will be playing alongside Cox in the back row.

"Predominantly, I'm looking for the front five to dominate and secure the good ball we need so we can play the game we want to. We've got a very expansive backline."
