Sunday’s match is the first of a double-header with Japan, with the sides meeting again seven days later at Meggetland. There are 13 BT Sport Scottish Rugby Academy Stage 2 players selected in the 25-man squad, along with seven Exiles. Charlie Shiel – son of former Scotland international Graham – will captain the side. The games at Inverleith this Sunday (20 March) and at Meggetland the following Sunday (27 March) both kick-off at 1pm and entry is free.
