Strange sticks to his guns
Strange has made just one change and two positional switches to the squad that won the Six Nations Grand Slam for juniors, ahead of their Junior World Cup opener against Ireland on Tuesday, June 7, at the Academy Stadium, in Manchester.
Ospreys wing Tom Williams returned to full fitness and earned his first Wales U20 cap.
He starts on the right wing with Joe Thomas moving to outside centre in place of Owen Watkin and Harri Millard switching to inside centre.
On the bench Liam Belcher, Seb Davies, and Josh Macleod also return to full fitness to take up places in the matchday 23.
Macleod is set to earn his first Wales U20 cap if he comes off the bench.
"We are pleased to be able to have such consistency in our selection from our Six Nations campaign," Strange said.
"We've had a great period of training and preparation and the players are now really looking forward to their first match on Tuesday.
"We know it will take a real team effort to do well against Ireland. After beating them in Dublin, they produced some impressive performances to beat England away and Scotland at home. We are focusing on our strengths and on our own performance. We know that if we play to the best of our ability and we stick to our principles of playing attractive rugby, we will be a competitive force.
"We have been working hard to keep making small improvements and our togetherness as a squad has continued to grow. We want to express that and keep the excitement going on the pitch starting with Tuesday's match.
"Our aim is to stay focussed on our performance and on being the best we can be."
