Scotland Under-17S Regroup To Face England Blues

Following their opening day victory over their French counterparts at the Wellington Festival in Berkshire yesterday, Scotland’s under-17 squad now regroup for their second fixture, against England Blues tomorrow (Tuesday 19 April, Wellington School, kick-off 11am). Chris Dean, who will captain the side at number 8, Sam Moncur who moves from wing to centre, Neil Herron who switches from centre to wing and Duncan Campbell at lock will start again with a reshuffle to the rest of the squad. Outlining the changes in the tomorrow’s side, head coach Davy Wilson said: “The rules of the tournament stipulate that everyone has to start for 35 minutes. We’re looking to ensure all our players have that opporunity in the first two games, to step up to the mark and put their hands up for selection for the final match on Friday.
