NEWPORT Gwent Dragons fly-half Arwel Robson will make his Wales Under-20s debut from the bench against Scotland in the Six Nations on Friday.

The 19-year-old missed the win in Italy and loss to England with an ankle injury suffered playing for the Dragons Premiership Select in January.

Robson, who has impressed with Newport RFC this season and made his senior regional debut against Leicester in the Anglo-Welsh Cup, is highly-rated by Wales Under-20s boss Jason Strange and a strong showing in Lanarkshire could be rewarded with a start against the Irish in round four.

The Penallta product is joined by three Dragons teammates on the bench.

Hooker Owen Hughes is also poised for a first U20 cap while lock Max Williams returns to the squad after starting in Italy and tighthead Chris Coleman will make his third successive appearance as a replacement.

Three Dragons players miss out through injury after starting against the Italians and English – full-back Will Talbot-Davies (knee), wing Jared Rosser (shoulder) and hooker Ellis Shipp (shoulder).

Strange names three debutants in blindside James Botham, number eight Aled Ward and wing Corey Baldwin and is boosted by the return of two of last season’s Grand Slam winners in full-back Rhun Williams and replacement scrum-half Reuben Morgan-Williams.
