The Scotland A team will be coached by Scotland head coach Frank Hadden and he welcomed the initiative. He said: “Fair play to the RFU. We all know how intense the rivalry is between Scotland and England – we’ve been playing each other at international level since 1871 – and to give youngsters the chance to savour that atmosphere for just£1 is terrific. “We’ll be announcing our provisional squad for the competition this week and given the number of players who missed out on the RBS 6 Nations through injury, we’ll be looking at giving some of them game time during the Barclays Churchill Cup so it will be a strong Scotland A squad.This is the first time that the Barclays Churchill Cup has been staged in England. Scotland A made their debut in the competition last season – when it was held in Canada  – and posted victories over England and Canada en route to losing to New Zealand Maori in the final. Last summer Scotland A were captained by Rory Lawson (Gloucester) who made his first start for Scotland in the concluding game to this season’s Six Nations Championship, against France in Paris.
