The following players have been selected for the SWRU Academy. Over 60 girls with an average age of 19 - a tribute to the success of the under-18 development programme - attended the Craigmount trial session where four ex-internationals examined tomorrow's top talent. The aim of the academy is to develop basic core rugby skills to allow the players to progress through to the development and full Scotland squads.
