Scotland Under-20s will play their home matches in the 2018 Six Nations at Broadwood and Myreside.

The age-grade side will split their matches between the west and east, playing at Clyde FC’S Broadwood Stadium in Cumbernaul­d against France on Friday 9 February (kick-off 7.45pm), before facing England at the home of Watsonians and Edinburgh Rugby, Myreside, a fortnight later on Friday 23 February ( 7.30pm).

Scotland face three away fixtures in this season’s tournament.

In round one, the Scots under-20s will travel to Colwyn Bay’s Parc Eirias to face Wales on Friday 2 February (8.15pm), before hosting France and England.

On Friday 9 March Scotland travel to Dublin to take on Ireland at Donnybrook (7.15pm) and then finish the campaign in Italy, with the match against the young Azzurri taking place at Bari’s Stadio della Vittoria on Friday 16 March (3pm GMT).

Head of National Age Grade Sean Lineen said: “We’ve got an incredible amount of young, gifted rugby players plying their trade up and down the country, so to have them in one group over the course of the Six Nations campaign will be really special.”
