The England team recovered from a 19-3 deficit in last Saturday's opening thriller and are gaining momentum after beating France 38-22.
At the same time, Scotland had a chance to make up for it by beating Ireland 38-7, but they were not in good form in the derby. Both sides did not flinch at Cardiff Arms Park. This has always been one of the championship spells. England made four changes to the team that beat France last weekend.
Emeka Ilione started for the first time in the jersey with the No.6 U20. Phil Brantingham and Sam Riley both wore the number 6 jersey. Harvey Kindell-Beaton finished the race on the front row.
The defensive line remained unchanged and Jack Van Poortvliet was once again the team captain of the half-court scrimmage.
The Scotland team has made seven changes to their squad, with number 8 Ben Moncaster wearing the captain's armband in place of substitute Alex Samuel.
The Scotland team made two front-row changes: props Michael Jones and George Breese came out of the way and locked up Euan Ferrie partner Max Williamson.
Rory Jackson and Ollie Leatherbarrow provided fresh legs on the flanker, while the half-back has some well-known names such as Bryan's son Murray Redpath and Gregor's son Christian Townsend. They started in 9th and 10th position. Ross McKnight also appeared on the right-wing.
England U20 coach Alan Dickens said: “This is a good week to prepare for Friday's game. The players have recovered very well after last weekend's game against France.
“I was very impressed with the impact of these four players on the pitch last week and I hope they will start this time.”
“We were lucky enough to have a few friendlies against Scotland in Newcastle a few weeks ago. It was very helpful and we knew they would bring challenges. But it's also about focusing on ourselves and making sure make sure we're ready to play what lies ahead of us.
“The players are united as a whole. We had 12 U20 debutants in the grid from the last game, but I was very impressed with the way they treated themselves, especially when they were behind 19-3.
Scottish U20 coach Sean Lineen said: “The team learned a lot from last weekend's game against Ireland. For some players experiencing international rugby for the first time, and from the performance of the first half. Learned some positive things.”
“The training of the team this week is very good. Some players have raised their hands, others have the first chance to participate.
KEY FIGHT: Murray Redpath v Jack van Poortvliet
The scrum-half battle will be pivotal on Friday, with both sides boasting exciting players looking to dominate the flow of the game.
England captain Jack van Poortvliet will be very confident in the way his team beat France from behind last week, and after winning the Six Nations Player of the Year award, his personal form is very good.
But in the game against Murray Redpath, he faced another difficult task. Although he ended the game against Ireland by accident at 38-7, he did well halfway through the game.
