Minto to skipper Wales Under 20s
Daily Post
|June 06, 2025
RICHARD WHIFFIN has named Dragons No 8 Evan Minto as his new Wales Under 20s captain for this evening's clash with England U20s in Pontypool.
Openside flanker Harry Beddall captained the side for the Six Nations but Minto has been given the honour for this U20s World Cup warm-up match against England.
Wales pulled off a stunning victory over England in the final game of the U20s Six Nations at the Arms Park in March and repeating that would give Whiffin's side a major confidence boost.
Minto is part of a new-look back row which includes Dragons' team-mate Ryan Jones and Gloucester flanker Caio James.
The 19-year-old had an impressive Six Nations campaign and Whiffin had no hesitation in handing over the captaincy responsibilities in place of Beddall, who will start from the bench.
"He is a very emotional leader but I think, alongside our tactical leaders in the squad, he will get the balance right," said Whiffin.
