Dragons lock Ben Carter will captain Wales Under-18 when they face Scotland in theU18 Six Nations Festival at Sixways Stadium, Worcester on Wednesday (live on FreeSports, kick off 16.10)
Wales head coach Chris Horsman has made several changes and hands the captaincy to Carter while Dylan Davies starts at scrum half and Morgan Richards is named among the replacements.
Commenting on the loss to England Horsman said: "We weren’t clinical enough, saying that it was a great experience for the boys.
His team will be eager to secure a win against the Scots who narrowly lost to Italy, 18-19.
"I’m really looking forward to seeing how Mason Grady and Dan John and Louis Rees-Zammit combine as there is a lot of attacking threat there in the back three.
"Louis has been involved in the U18s for the past couple of years and will be buzzing after his debut for Gloucester against Bath on Saturday."
