Archie Appleby is primed to earn his first cap for Scotland Under-20s this weekend, as they face Wales in Round 3 of the Under-20s Six Nations.
The 19-year-old lock – who gradated from Northampton Saints’ Academy last summer – was a late addition to Scotland’s wider squad for the tournament and joins the side at Cardiff Arms Park, as they go in search of their second win of the competition after having defeated Italy 36-10 in the opening round.
