Roberts leads Scotland U20 in U20 Six Nations finale

13 Mar 2026

Joe Roberts will captain Scotland U20 in their final match of the U20 Six Nations, leading the team out against Ireland in Cork this Sunday.

The hooker was one of Scotland’s four try-scorers in a second-half fightback that earned them a bonus-point against France, with the men in blue now rounding out their campaign with a visit to Virgin Media Park this weekend.

Roberts is joined in the front-row by club-mate Ollie McKenna, who is one of four Warriors to continue their run of featuring in every matchday 23 in the competition.

Dan Halkon continues in the second-row after making his first appearance of the campaign last time out, whilst Rory Purvis starts at number eight in his latest outing of an all-action campaign.

Jackson Rennie will once again look to make an impact from the bench, the loose-head having scored in his cameos against Wales and France.

Kick-off on Sunday is scheduled for 3.15pm, with the match live on BBC iPlayer.
