European Championship

Scotland took part in the early editions of the European Under-18 Rugby Union Championship, coming third in 2005 and fourth in 2006, on both occasions playing Italy for third place. The team, after this did not take part in the competition again until 2011. Having missed out on participating in the elite division during the qualifying, the team was grouped in the tier-two first division. It won this division convincingly through victories over Romania and Germany, meeting Italy once more in the final, where Scotland won 17–12. [2]
