A 26-player squad, made up of 15 forwards and 11 backs, will travel down to Cardiff this afternoon ahead of a match tomorrow at Cardiff Arms Park.

The game will be played under conditioned rules as both Wales and Scotland will use the game as a development tool to look at a wider group of players ahead of the 2023 Under-20 Six Nations.

Players in contention for the Scotland U20 Six Nations squad selection have trained through the autumn with either Edinburgh Rugby or Glasgow Warriors U20 sides ahead of the U20 1872 Cup which ended in a draw last month. 

The fixture this weekend marks the third of three Scotland U20 camps this month before players and management return in January with the focus firmly set on the 2023 Under-20 Six Nations which kicks off with Scotland traveling to play England at Twickenham Stoop on Friday 4 February, kick-off 7pm.
