Evie Wills earns her ninth Scotland cap

  • Published36 minutes ago

Sale Sharks centre Evie Wills replaces the injured Emma Orr as Scotland make just one change from their win over Wales as England visit Murrayfield on Saturday.

Highly regarded Trailfinders wing Fran McGhie is only considered fit enough for the bench on her return from injury.

That means Shona Campbell, who scored her first Scotland try in the 24-19 win in Cardiff, continues on the left flank for the Six Nations match in Edinburgh.

Montpellier back row Rachel McLachlan is also among the replacements after her return to the squad.

Glasgow Warriors scrum-half Rianna Darroch could make her debut as a replacement.

Warriors' Emily Coubrough, who earned her first cap in Cardiff, keeps the number eight jersey.

It had already been announced that influential Bristol Bears centre Orr will miss the rest of the Six Nations after picking up a knee injury against Wales.

Scotland head coach Sione Fukofuka called up Montpellier's Holly McIntyre as a replacement, but she does not make the bench.
