Scotland U20 Squad Announced
Scotland under-20 head coach, Peter Wright, has named a 40-man squad today to prepare for the forthcoming RBS 6 Nations.
The squad is bigger than in previous years and will be in camp at Murrayfield until Friday 20 January.
Changing The Curriculum
Some instances in the last few weeks have got me thinking. Then something that came to my attention last night got me to get it down in script.
Scottish Rugby AGM Seeks Change
From scottishrugby.org: Scotland’s rugby clubs have voted overwhelmingly in favour of proposals for a radical reshape of the domestic league programme which will shorten the season, reduce travel costs, help clubs to grow the game and retain players.
Will Scotland Ever Have a BO’D?
At the U20s World Cup, in Italy, Scotland have lost twice. Once to a pumped up South Africa side and once to an out of sorts England side.
Two losses is still the most important fact, but I feel myself looking at performances.
Scotland U20s 18-39 England U20s
The scoreline above does not really do justice to what was a vastly improved performance by the Scotland team who could quite possibly (but not easily) have won this game. In the end, England’s wings showed a little more confidence on the ball than the players inside – who handed over a glut of possession to Scotland (some of which was handed straight back) – and finished a couple of simple tries to put the gloss on the score.
Scotland vs England U20 Teams
Scotland under-20 have made three personnel changes to the starting side ahead of their IRB Junior World Championship match tonight against England at the Stadio Comunale di Monigo, Treviso (kick-off 5.10pm BST, live on Sky Sports 3 from 5pm).
South Africa U20 33-0 Scotland U20
Wait. Don’t skip over this one, it’s not all doom and gloom!
Honey, Let’s Back the Kids
The Scotland under-20s have already left for their World Cup in Italy. In their ranks they have Duncan Weir, Mark Bennett and Stuart Hogg. They also, it must be said, go with mixed expectations.
Bringing Sexy Back
Grumblings come in from many about the state of Scottish rugby, but in reality we need solutions. We need positivity. (I am aware of the irony of this statement, coming from me!)
