Scotland Under-19s V. Emerging Great Britain Under-19s.

Score: Match Cancelled

Date: June 30^th 2002  Venue: Cockermouth RUFC, Cumbria

Unforeseen difficulties faced by the Great Britain management meant that the long awaited fixture against the Scotland Under-19s squad was unfortunately cancelled. However the Scotland Under-19s used the weekend in Cockermouth to their advantage gaining valuable training with the Student side, assisting them in their own development. The weekend also provided an opportunity to see the strength and skill expected at this level by witnessing the Scotland Students versus English Students match. The Scotland under-19s side received vital preparation time for their forthcoming tour which departs on 13^th July to France and Italy. The under-19s will be part of a combined squad with the Student international side competing with teams such as Italy and the Russian state Tartarstan. Scotland's tour will be an exceptional one as they fly the flag for British Student and Under-19s rugby league, and they will be the first Scotland side to have played in Italy for 40 years. It is hoped that the tour will offer challenging fixtures for both the Students and Under-19s, and that this will provide them with the depth of experience to achieve Great Britain honours.
