England Under 20s prop Danny Hobbs-Awoyemi says the team will treat the final of the IRB World Junior Championship against Wales just like any other match.

It was also the first time that he had faced the Haka, and it is clear that it will live long in the memory. "It was a great experience," the prop added. "I just wanted to smile all the way through it because I'd never faced it before! But we had to keep our heads on for the game - I get to enjoy it now though, watching it back." Now though, all thoughts of the semi-final must be forgotten and Hobbs-Awoyemi hopes the players can win the tournament in Vannes to repay all the fans for all the encouragement they have given the squad. He said: "We've had amazing support and have all been getting tweets and messages from home, and hopefully we can win the title for our supporters, too."
