Glasgow is to play host to the international stars of the future at the inaugural Under-18 Six Nations festival next month.

Tournament director, Peter Gallagher, the former Scotland age-grade and sevens coach/manager said: "The festival will take the form of a round-robin event. Some of the matches will be double-headers so there'll be something in it for everyone, no matter who you're supporting.

"And the chances are that supporters will get the first glimpse of some of the stars of the 2011 World Cup right here in Scotland."

Teams can select a squad of 26 players, all of whom must start at least one of the three games they play.

The matches and venues are:

Sunday 8 April

Burnbrae, home of West of Scotland in Milngavie, will host England v Scotland with a 3.00pm kick-off.
