Joe Roberts continues as the squad’s vice-captain, having turned in a pair of industrious performances in Scotland’s opening two matches of the U20 Six Nations to date.

He is joined once more in the starting XV by Rory Purvis, the academy back-rower packing down at number eight for the trip to Cardiff Arms Park.

Ollie McKenna and Jackson Rennie complete the Glasgow contingent, providing the cover at prop ahead of the clash with the men in red.

Supporters can watch the match live on BBC iPlayer on Friday night, with kick-off scheduled for 7.15pm
