Five Dragons named by Wales Under-19s

06/12/2019

Wales U20 head coach Gareth Williams has named his side to take on Scotland U19 at Ystrad Mynach on Sunday (KO 2pm) – and has named five Dragons in the starting line-up.

Centre Aneurin Owen is named vice-captain and joins Ewan Rosser, Dylan Bartlett, Brodie Coghlan and Ben Carter in the team.

“Although not a fully-fledged international, this game gives us an opportunity to run the rule over a number of new players to this type of environment,” said Williams.

“As this game is an extension of our U20s preparation, we view the game more like a ‘training’ international where players get an opportunity to taste international rugby.

“In a wider sense, we have a big season coming up with the Six Nations and a World Rugby U20 Championship to look forward so it’s important these boys hit the ground running.”
