Must be the first time that two Williams' and a Jones made their debut for England

Boothroyd seems to be continually underperforming with the under 21s. There's no way that side should be losing that.

Interesting one of the debutants was a defender from Liverpool called Rhys Williams - There's got to be some welsh connection there surely?

Republic of Ireland seem to have a brilliant youth team and are currently higher than Italy in their group.

Another Emlyn Hughes perhaps.

I think we have a fantastic Under 21 team, most of whom are in the senior squad rather than the U21s.

There's a huge amount of scousers with Welsh ancestry but unless they introduce the great great grandparents rule I think we're out of luck.
