England and Wales will meet in Neath in a fortnight to decide the U16s Four Nations title after both convincingly won their round two games.

England dominated from the off, building a 40-0 half time lead against Ireland in Widnes, fullback Jack Bowden finishing with 18 points from two tries and five goals.

Centre Jonah Carter claimed a hat trick, and Billy Buster-Knight and Jaiden Udbegbe were also on the scoresheet again, fellow try scorer Ryan Cunliffe also impressing in the pack.

Ireland showed commendable courage to open the scoring in the second half, centre Joe Clarke converting his own score.

Wales also started impressively, establishing a 22-point early lead facing Scotland in Merthyr Tydfil and they also led 40-0 at the break. Winger Alfie Davies opened the scoring and finished with three of Wales’s 13 tries, Jack Parrott claiming 16 points, including six goals.

Centre Max Phillips grabbed a brace in the first half and lively scrum half Will Mordecai did likewise in the second.

The game spilled over just before the hour, Danny Jones – who had scored minutes before – being dismissed for striking and Scotland’s Lachlan McKelvey sinbinned for his part in the fray.

Scotland received a penalty after the incident and Reece McAdam kicked it from long range to ensure they had points on the board.
