TWO Dragons - winger Jimmy Norris and hooker Ben Roberts - have been picked for Wales Under 20s' Six Nations opener against England at Gloucester on Friday night (7.45pm).

Centre partnership Gareth Owen and Jonathan Davies form an exciting backline which includes 18-year-old Swansea and Ospreys outside half Daniel Biggar; Llanelli and Scarlets full back Daniel Evans; Cardiff's outstanding performer Leigh Halfpenny; Neath and Ospreys scrum half Gareth Williams and the seasoned age grade international, Bedwas wing Norris.

Head coach Patrick Horgan said: "We think we have found the right balance in the side. With Dan Biggar at outside half, Gareth Owen gives us another kicking option in the centre while Jonathan Davies is an exciting talent to work with, as are the back three of Daniel Evans, Luke Halfpenny and Jimmy Norris."
