The three Saints U21s players currently taking part in the Under21s World Cup in Johannesburg, South Africa all came off their respective benches to help their countries record wins. Forwards Mark Soden and James Buckland both helped England to a 41-12 win over Italy which put some of the disappointment of a heavy loss to New Zealand earlier in the week.

Wales including replacement Matt Miles pulled off their second win of the competition beating the Argentine U21s 45-34.

Poor old Romania conceded 135 points for the second game running after losing 135-0 to SA on Friday the Australian U21s ran up a 135-3 score against them, but at least they got on the board this time.

In other games South Africa beat France, New Zealand hammered Japan and Ireland overwhelmed Fiji.
