Scotland have included four Loughborough Lightning players in their 23-player matchday squad to take on England this weekend.
Player of the match from the opening round Guinness Women’s 2026 Six Nations victory over Wales, Helen Nelson, retains her role as vice-captain at fly-half and is accompanied by her Lightning teammate Leia Brebner-Holden at scrum-half, to take on the World Champions at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Saturday 18 April (kick-off: 1.30pm).
Versatile back Lucia Scott, who scored her third international try on the occasion of her eighth Scotland appearance last weekend remains amongst the replacements, as does hooker Elis Martin, who played her first minutes of rugby since the 2025 World Cup in Cardiff.
The match is live on BBC Two.
