• 22 Nov 2022

Edinburgh Rugby U20s will tonight host Glasgow Warriors U20s at DAM Health Stadium for the junior inter-city derby (kick-off 7pm)

Academy Head Coach Rob Chrystie has selected a 24-man squad to face the local rivals from across the M8, with academy trio of Robbie Deans, Rudi Brown, and Ben Evans all named in the side.

Another familiar name in the replacements is Hayden Sykes, brother of Edinburgh star Marshall, who will have his first involvement in the capital set-up.

Supporters should be made aware that tickets are not available to the general public for this junior fixture and only friends and family of players who’ve registered for access are permitted to attend.
