One Change for Scotland U20 Clash With Wales

Harvey Preston will make his first Scotland Men U20 start against England.

Harvey Preston comes into the starting XV, having come off the bench in the opening two fixtures. He comes in at openside flanker, replacing Jack Utterson who misses out through injury.

In an unchanged front row, loosehead prop Jamie Stewart is joined in the front row by hooker Joe Roberts, who vice-captains the side, and tighthead prop Ollie Blyth-Lafferty.

Christian Lindsay and Alfie Blackett continue in the second row, while Sam Byrd at blindside flanker, and Rory Purvis at number 8 join Preston in the back row.

Hamish MacArthur continues at scrum-half, and is again partnered by Jake Dalziel at stand-off to complete the half-backs.

Captain Ross Wolfenden is again selected at inside centre, with Campbell Waugh on his outside. Nairn Moncrieff is on the right wing, with Rory McHaffie on the left, and Henry Widdowson again starts at full-back.

There are two potential debuts in the forward replacements. Archie Appleby, a late addition to the wider training squad, is primed to come on in the second row, while back row Jack Marshall returns from injury to make his first matchday squad. Hooker Jamie McAughtrie, props Oliver McKenna and Jackson Rennie and second row Fin Ronnie are the other forward replacements.

The lineup is completed by Adam McKenzie and Calum Jessop, who return as the two backs replacements in a 6-2 bench split.
