England have been busy working through their set-piece calls and structures for tomorrow's Junior World Championship final.
At the heart of that engine room is lock Maro Itoje, and the man who skippered the side in the convincing semifinal victory over Ireland is acutely aware that this area of the
game will need to be well-honed for the final against the vaunted South Africa set-piece.
"We pride ourselves on our set-piece, so it should be a good battle there," said Itoje.
The 19-year-old Saracens academy player, one of seven in this squad out of the north London club, has been in the thick of some powerful output by the England forwards in this tournament, pulling down lineout ball, galloping around the track, including one memorable 35m charge against Ireland, and generally leading from the front.
England have an unusual situation whereby their tour captain, halfback Callum Braley, has not been able to command a regular starting gig. Itoje has been more than happy to take the leadership mantle.
