Seven Warriors academy talents named in Scotland U20 squad

Seven Glasgow Warriors academy prospects will take to the field for Scotland U20 in Paris this Friday night, as Kenny Murray’s squad close out their 2025 U20 Six Nations campaign against France at the Stade Jean Bouin.

All seven of the Warriors involved were also part of the matchday 23 that claimed a bonus-point victory over Wales U20 in Edinburgh last weekend, in what was Scotland’s first victory in the U20 Six Nations since 2023.

Ollie McKenna continues in the front-row after an industrious performance last time out, with Dan Halkon joining him in the pack after turning in an impressive display in the second-row against Wales.

Matthew Urwin once again steers the ship from the number 10 jersey, the fly-half having pulled the strings of the Scottish attack in the win over the Welsh.

Kerr Yule continues at inside-centre having caught the eye with ball in hand last Friday, whilst Fergus Watson lines up on the wing as he looks to add to his try-scoring tally for Murray’s men.

Two further Warriors talents line up amongst the front-row replacements, as Joe Roberts – who went 11 for 11 at the lineout last Friday – and Jake Shearer await their opportunity from the bench.

Supporters can watch the match live on BBC iPlayer this Friday night, with kick-off scheduled for 8.15pm.
