Speaking ahead of the tour, Lambs National Director Alex Laybourne said:

“The U16s are touring for the first time, and they take with them a very exciting squad to face three Scotland sides over 8 days. We are excited to see what the group can achieve and how far they will develop under the Fast and Free philosophy as they work together over an intense period of time. I know that Robin Hardman and his team will get the best out of this group of very motivated young men.”
