Helena Rowland, Lilli Ives Campion and Sadia Kabeya have kept their places in England’s starting side for their Guinness Women’s 2026 Six Nations trip to Scotland this weekend.
The Loughborough Lightning trio are retained at inside centre, second row and openside flanker respectively for the second routh match at Scottish Gas Murrayfield on Saturday 18 April (kick-off: 1.30pm).
Also keeping her place in the matchday squad after impressing from the bench on her debut against Ireland in the opening weekend is Haineala Lutui, who provides an option in the second row and at No.8.
The Lightning quartet will come up against clubmates Helen Nelson, Leia Brebner-Holden, Elis Martin and Lucia Scott, who have been named in the Scotland squad for this weekend’s encounter.
Red Roses Head Coach John Mitchell said: “We’re expecting a brilliant atmosphere in Scotland, and it’s fantastic to see the game continuing to grow, with what will be a record crowd for a standalone women’s sporting event there. That’s something everyone involved should be proud of, and it sets the stage for a great contest on Saturday.”
