The Under-18 matches against the Welsh Celts and Druids will act as preparation for the next Scotland Under-18s match when the group, led by Ross Miller, will take on Wales away from home on Sunday 19 March.

That game will be their last fixture before the Under-18s Six Nations campaign begins in a tournament in Ireland which starts against the hosts on Saturday 8 April.
