Wales v Scotland U20s Live: Kick-off time, TV details, team news and match updates
A much-changed Wales U20s side will take the field against Scotland at Parc Eirias tonight following last weekend’s 53-5 hammering at the hands of Ireland.
Head coach Byron Hayward had made it clear he wasn’t happy with the commitment and effort from some of his players in the Six Nations opener out in Cork and promised to shake things up selection-wise.
He has been true to his word, making no fewer than eight changes for this evening’s clash in Colwyn Bay.
There are new half-backs, new props and a new second row pairing among the re-jig, with Bristol No 10 Jac Lloyd, the younger brother of full international Ioan, making his first start at this level.
Alex Mann moves to No 8, with Bath’s Tom Cowan coming in on the blindside flank, while the Ospreys’ Joe Hawkins will add his regional experience at inside centre.
Scotland will also be looking to bounce back having lost 41-24 at home to England last weekend, with Christian Townsend, the son of national team coach Gregor, lining up at fly-half.
