🏉 Exciting times for our young Welsh rugby stars! Tomorrow, Wales U20s are set to face off against their Six Nations rivals, Scotland U20s. This will be an uncapped warm-up match at Edinburgh’s Boroughmuir RFC as the team gears up for the World Rugby U20 Championship later this month. 🌍
Head Coach Richard Whiffin is taking this as a golden opportunity to fine-tune strategies and finalise the squad before they head into pool play against strong teams like Georgia, South Africa, and Uruguay. After a productive training block and a few days off, the boys are eager to test out their combinations against an unknown opponent.
Key players to watch include 18-year-old Scarlets outside-half Carwyn Leggatt-Jones, Ospreys’ back row Sam Morgan, and rising star Lewis Edwards at full-back. With the likes of Cardiff’s Dylan Scott and Rhys Cummings on the wings and Gloucester’s Deian Gwynne leading the team as captain from blindside flanker, it promises to be an intense showdown. đź’Ş
Whiffin shared, “The boys need some minutes and we need to test out some combinations for the World Cup. There’s nothing like going out against an opposition that doesn’t know what you’re trying to do to get a feel of how you’re trying to work.”
Scotland is just coming off a match against Ireland, so they’ll be ready and raring to go, making it a brilliant test for our lads. Kick-off is set for 3pm. Don’t miss it! 🕒🏴
Let’s support our future rugby stars! đź’Ą #WalesU20 #RugbyFamily #FutureStars
