Scotland U18 named for development clash
The Scotland U18 squad to take on Scotland U19 Development at Inverleith, Edinburgh, on Sunday has been named (kick-off 2pm). Head Coach Ally Donaldson has made several changes to his side that lost out 31-17 to England U18 earlier this month, with Sunday’s fixture serving as a development opportunity ahead of the upcoming U18 International Series, which begins in April and features Ireland, Wales, England, Italy and Canada. Donaldson, said: “The squad have prepared well to take on Scotland U19 on Sunday in preparation for the International Festival in Wales next month.”The U19s will provide just the sort of physical, intense challenge we will face in Wales where we have three games in eight days.This fixture will be a good test for us, we have made several changes from our recent defeat to England U18 to give all players in the squad an opportunity to experience rugby at this level.”We are ready to build on the positives from that game with another development opportunity this weekend in Edinburgh.” Scotland U18 squad to face Scotland U19 Development at Inverleith on Sunday 26 March (kick-off 2pm) – FREE entry 15.
