There's more to come warns Walker after opening England Under-20 victory

England under-20 skipper Chris Walker says the victory over Italy is just the beginning
Leeds Carnegie flanker Chris Walker captained England as they got their International Rugby Board Junior World Championship off to a perfect start in South Africa.
England under-20s defeated their Italian counterparts 64-5 at the University of Western Cape Stadium, but Otley loanee Walker, in charge of his country for the fifth time, says that there’s more to come.
He said: “We’re really happy with the win, but this is just the beginning. There’s more to come from us and, despite the scoreline, Italy really pushed us – particularly early on.
“We’ll take a look at this game and then move on to Ireland. There’s a quick turnaround between matches so we need to recover well and then focus on the next job.
“It really is one step at a time and here we climbed up the first step.”
Fellow Carnegie and Otley loanee Dominic Barrow played for 53 minutes before being replaced by Harlequin George Merrick.
