Wales Under 20 head coach Phil Davies said, “Ben has been involved with our squad since the start of the season and has trained well. Along with Lloyd Peers, he captained Wales Under 18 last season and although it’s disappointing news for Owen, I’m confident Ben will step up to the plate on Friday.”
