Next up for the Scottish Rugby male pathway is the U16 inter-city derbies. Two Edinburgh Rugby U16 sides will take on two Glasgow Warriors U16 sides at Hive Stadium on Sunday.

Head of Pathways John Fletcher said: “Firstly, I want to thank Newcastle Falcons for sending a team up. It was beneficial for us to have a different style to play against.

“Our U17 regional sides went for it both sides of the ball, and I thought we saw lots of the skills on show from all of our teams.

“We now look forward to this weekend’s U16 inter-city derbies. Having four teams getting the opportunity to represent our pro teams is great and I’m sure it will be a great experience for all involved.”
