SCOTLAND UNDER-20s will play their three home matches in this season’s Six Nations at Scotstoun Stadium, home of Glasgow Warriors, having been based at the DAM Health Stadium in Edinburgh last season.
Kenny Murray’s team will open their campaign away to England at Twickenham Stoop on Friday 3rd February (kick-off 7pm). They will play their first game at Scotstoun on Friday 10th February against Wales (7.15pm kick-off) before taking on France away on Friday 24th February (kick-off 8pm), followed by two more home games at Scotstoun against Ireland on Friday 10th March (kick-off 7:15pm) and Italy on Sunday 19th March (at 2pm).
“We’re delighted to be making Scotstoun our home for the 2023 Under-20 Six Nations campaign,” said head coach Murray. “It’s a quality ground and a fast surface which will make for three entertaining games against Wales, Ireland and Italy.

Squads for Under-20s 1872 Cup clash unveiled
“Our wider U20 group have been training regionally in the lead up to yesterday’s U20 1872 Cup and now the focus will shift to being a central group as we come together in the lead up to the Under-20 Six Nations.”
In Tuesday night’s ‘Junior’ 1872 Cup match, full-back Andy McLean – who plays his club rugby for Glasgow Hawks – kicked a last-minute conversion of GHA utility-back Aminio Bogidrau’s try for the Warriors to secure 28-28 draw.
Warriors’ other points all came in the first half through tries by Adam Flynn, Ali Rogers and Duncan Munn, plus three conversions from Richie Simpson,

Suspect Ron is referring to the frankly bizarre decision to not allow spectators in to the 1872 u20s game.
Why Scoutstoun? Glasgow does not care for rugby in comparison to Edinburgh, especially youth rugby has been particularly poor from the clubs there.
Bring it to the Burgh.
So how do we grow the game outside the capital?
Hmm- who won the under 19s 1872 Cup? What was the score in the under 20s game?
homes games, with crowds were held in Edinburgh last season
Glasgow have consistently has bigger crowds than Edinburgh for a decade
Apart form those, great post
There’s plenty of SA journeymen at the Dam as well and plenty of young Scots who are unable to get game time there too.
Oh dear.
