Euan Murray and Joe Gray have both retained their places in the Scotland and England Under-20 sides for their Six Nations matches against Wales and Italy Under-20. Senior Academy scrum-half John Brake is also on international duty this weekend as part of the England squad competing in the San Diego leg of the IRB World Sevens Series.
Scotland have made three changes to their starting line-up for Saturday�s RBS 6 Nations Championship match against Wales at the Millennium Stadium.
Chris Paterson returns on the wing, thus becoming Scotland�s most-capped back surpassing the 82 caps of former Saint Gregor Townsend.
Scotland coach Frank Hadden said: �We believed last week we could win in Cardiff and that still remains the case. Obviously we�ve had a dent to our confidence but the squad are now doubly determined to travel to Wales and battle for everything we can get to win on Saturday.�

Miles Benjamin and Gregor Gillanders have been recalled by Worcester and Leicester respectively for their Guinness Premiership games this weekend and have been replaced by Harlequins wing Seb Stegmann and Saracens lock Ben Thomas.
"Gregor Gillanders and Miles Benjamin played very well for us last weekend and it's fantastic for them that they've been called back to be involved in two Guinness Premiership squads," said England Under 20 coach Nigel Redman.
"They've set the bar high for Ben Thomas and Seb Stegmann, who have been training very well with us and now have to take the step up to international level.
"Our captain Hugo Ellis summed it up this week by making the point that the Wales game is now behind us. We've got to build on that game and put a few things right against Italy."
