BECK CUTTING ENGLAND U18

Warriors youngsters Joe Morris and Beck Cutting helped England Under 18s thrash Scotland 39-15 on Sunday in Stirling.

Tighthead Morris started for England as they recorded a five-try win over the Scots, while hooker Cutting came off the bench as the young side prepare for the 5 Nations Festival. England Under 18 Head Coach John Fletcher said: "We felt like it was a strong performance against a good French team the week before, and although we weren't on the right side of that score, we felt from a performance perspective we probably edged the game. "But we were really pleased with the performance and especially with the intent we showed in attack against Scotland. We had really good ball movement between backs and forwards. "We always remind the players just before they run out where they come from and of their families. It is important that they recognise that they have a lot of people supporting them and wanting them to do well - that is a big part of them staying connected with who they are. "It is also a chance to reiterate and encourage them to go and express themselves. We want players at this age to go and explore the game and that is very much what the programme has always been about." Both Morris (King Edward VI Aston) and Cutting (Bromsgrove School) have been regulars in Warriors' Under 18 side which reached their first-ever Finals Day earlier this season.
