Scotland Squad To Face England Announced

Scotland have announced their squad for the Under-18 international against England Community Lions at Whitehaven on Wednesday night. 


Scotland Rugby League Coach Alan Davidson, assisted by Mark Senter and John Duffy, has included players from all across Great Britain in his first squad, from prop Louie Sutherland of London Skolars and Southgate College to Cameron Brown of Robert Gordon's College in Aberdeen.

There are seven Scotland-based players included, among them, three from the Easterhouse Panthers production line in Glasgow, from where new Scotland winger David Scott emerged. 18-year-old Scott, now of Hull KR, is one of five players in the pool who played academy rugby at Super League clubs in 2011: the others are Castleford Tigers' Curtis MacDonald, Leeds Rhinos' Sinclair Matthews, brother of Scotland winger Crawford, Wakefield Trinity's Corbyn Kilday and Wigan Warriors' full-back Shae Lyon-Fraser. Scotland won one and lost one in their earlier games against England Colleges and will be looking to beat the Auld Enemy to conclude the representative season on a high.
