England head coach John Mitchell insists the Red Roses will roll with the punches as they come to terms with a growing list of absentees.

Mitchell has made five changes in personnel to the starting XV for Saturday's Guinness Women's Six Nations clash with Scotland at Murrayfield, including handing a debut to 19-year-old Demelza Short at blindside flanker.
