WORCESTER Warriors' Ted Hill scored a try as England under 18s made a winning start to the season with a seven-try, 43-14 victory over France at Aylesbury.

In tough conditions the hosts deservedly led 12-7 at half-time.

John Fletcher’s side ran in five more tries with Worcester Sixth Form College student Hill among those crossing.

Warriors team-mate James Scott, of Malvern College, also played, while Nick Rigby, of Warwick School, was a replacement.

England host Scotland at Preston Grasshoppers on Sunday (2pm).
