Squad Named for French Lesson

Scotland Rugby League

Scotland Under-18s v France Under-18s.

Date: 3rd March 2002
Venue: Peebles RFC
K.O: 2pm

The newly formed Scotland Under-18s face the tourists, France Under-18s on 3rd March at Peebles RFC.  The fixture provides a debute match for the squad who have been formed prior to the successes of both the Scotland Under-19s and Student teams.  There is great expectation that many of the talented squad members can anticipate a place in the Under-19s side, participating in the Home Nations in early April.  The Scotland squad consists of both residents and exiles, many of whom possess rugby union backgrounds, but turn their hand to rugby league in the summer months to enhance and develop their playing skills.
