Scott makes two changes

Head coach Stevie Scott has made two changes to his Scotland U20 side to face Ireland in Dublin on Friday.

Back-row Guy Graham and centre Callum Mclelland drop out due to injury from the XV who secured a famous win over England at Myreside last time out. They are replaced by Rory Darge and Northampton Saints’ Fraser Strachan, both promoted from the bench, for the game at Donnybrook, which kicks off at 7:15pm.

Stewart’s Melville product Connor Boyle is named on the bench, as is Mark New – who returns after starting the opening game in Wales.

Scott said: “Ireland is another tough fixture. We’re on the road which adds another challenge, but they certainly won’t take us lightly.”
