Wright's youngsters put Hunter on guard

England under-20 coach Rob Hunter insists his Scotland counterparts will prove dangerous rivals at Newbury tonight despite trying to break an age-group duck against a team boasting three wins out of three.

"Scotland will be strong, committed, quick and organised. They present a different challenge from the three sides we've faced so far," said Hunter but for Scotland coach, Peter Wright, it is about his charges producing "the game of their lives".

Wright said: "It's no exaggeration to say that we need everyone to play the game of their lives. We're going away from home to play a top class team who are on a roll, and that makes it a massive challenge for us."
