New Scotland Under-18 coach Alan Davidson has selected a 26-man squad to prepare for the game against England on 9 November. Scotland include 13 players from nine different clubs or colleges across the domestic scene, plus David Scott of Hull KR who is a product of Easterhouse Panthers, alongside 12 English-based players who came through the 'Exiles' trial system.

Among the most experienced players are Wigan Warriors' reserve full-back Shae Fraser-Lyon, Curtis McDonald who is playing for Castleford Tigers in the Under-20 Play-Offs, Leeds Rhinos' Sinclair Matthews and Wakefield Trinity youngster Corbyn Kilday. Scotland play in the Regional Carnival at Leeds on 15 October before facing England Community Lions at Hull in November.
