4 Grenoble players in the line-up against Scotland

U18 6 Nations Festival

After a fine victory over Ireland in the opening match of the 6 Nations Festival, the Tricolores face Scotland, who beat Italy on the first day.

Cédric LABORDE (Manager France Under 18): "I think there will be less stress linked to the match. We had a hard time getting into the competition against Ireland, we felt the players were a little tense. We had to wait until the second half to find our game plan. Scotland are a well-structured team, with strengths in the third row, on the wings, they will look for wide spaces so it will be a pleasant match. We are really lucky to have a group of 26 players who are very homogeneous. We don't take the trouble to make the compositions. We want to give all the players playing time. The objective is also to give them international experience for the years to come, because that's what we're working for at U18s."
