Scotland Women will be playing their home matches once again at Meggetland in Edinburgh, the home ground of Boroughmuir RFC. Scottish Rugby’s head of performance, Henry Edwards, said: “We believe it’s vital to encourage supporters not only to get behind the players who have the honour of representing their country but it gives them a golden opportunity to see the potential stars of Scotland teams who will be our ultimate rugby ambassadors in the future.” Scotland under-20 team manager, John Jeffrey, agreed: “Scotland age-grade games are a great chance to see the talent of tomorrow and Scotland A feature a number of top international players. “The 20s have had a good turnout of about 1500 in the past but hopefully, with tickets now free to all, we’ll get a vocal crowd at the games who will get behind the team for the 6 Nations Championship.” Scotland under-20 are first to get into 6 Nations action and will play all of their matches in Perthshire and Tayside as they take on Wales at McDiarmid Park, Perth (Friday 6 February), Italy at Dens Park, Dundee (Friday 27 February) and Ireland (Friday 13 March) back in Perth. Scotland under-19 will play Italy at Lasswade (1 March), the club international side will play Ireland at Myreside (13 March) while Scotland under-18 will play their only home 6 Nations preparation game against the Boys Club of Wales at Bridgehaugh (29 March).
