Scotland Under-16s squads announced for Colwyn Bay Rugby Festival

THREE Scotland Under-16 squads – the Blues, the Reds and the Greens – have been named ahead of the Colwyn Bay Rugby Festival, which kicks off this Sunday (1st April). The six-day tournament will allow the young Scots to go head-to-head against Welsh sides Cardiff Blues, Ospreys and RGC, plus English side The Lambs.

The squads have prepared for the festival with a series of training days and camps, following internal matches and a fixture against Newcastle Falcons. The Blues (coached by former Scotland centre Graham Shiel) and the Reds (coached by Bryan Easson) have been selected from 50 home based players, while the Greens (coached by David Wilson) is made up from Exiles.

Following these games, players will be selected to attend a two-week training camp in Valladolid in Spain over the summer.
