WORCESTER Warriors lock Sam McDonald will make his England Under 19 debut as they take on Scotland at the Twickenham Stoop tonight (7.45).
Another newcomer is McDonald's Worcester team-mate Matthew Cox. The flanker starts the game on the bench.
Also among the substitutes are former Bromsgrove School pupil Matt Mullan, who made his full Warriors debut last December, and full-back Chris Pennell.
"With long-term injuries to some players, opportunities open for others who have been doing well at their clubs to prove themselves at international level and we congratulate Worcester's Sam McDonald and Matthew Cox and Iain Grieve of Bristol on their first call up," said England U19s coach Nigel Redman.
