U20s 6N: France v Scotland: two changes to starting XV for trip to Paris
Today at 11:26 AM
KENNY MURRAY has made two changes to his Scotland Under-20s team, both in the pack, ahead of Friday night’s Six Nations denouement against France in Paris, with Seb Stephen and Bart Godsell promoted from the bench to start at hooker and in the second-row respectively. Joe Roberts and Charlie Moss drop to the bench.
The backline is an unaltered from the unit which began last weekend’s home win over Wales, while Ross Wolfenden returns to the match-day squad as midfield bench cover in place of Isaac Coates.
"As a group we enjoyed the win last weekend,” said Murray. “It was good to see us perform across the full 80 minutes as that's something we've been working towards for the full campaign.

"We still had plenty of things to work on in training this week, and we know we'll have to go up another level on Friday night against an excellent France U20 side.
"We want to end this campaign with another good performance and show we've made some steps forward as we build towards our World Rugby U20 Championship return in summer."
