Scotland vs England: Women’s Six Nations Clash at Hive Stadium
Scotland will face off against old rivals England in the Women’s Six Nations at the Hive Stadium in Edinburgh on Saturday, April 13. The Scots will be looking to end a 25-year losing streak against the Red Roses, with a record home crowd expected to cheer them on.
Despite their recent loss to France, Scotland is showing improved form and will be led by head coach Bryan Easson as they aim to upset the unbeaten England team. Exciting full-back Chloe Rollie will be a key player to watch, as she faces off against the tournament’s leading try scorer Ellie Kildunne.
England, on the other hand, will be without captain Marlie Packer, who has been dropped to the bench for this match. Former Wales international Philippa Tuttiett believes this move is to give other players a chance to impress, with Zoe Aldcroft stepping in as captain in Packer’s absence.
The Red Roses are chasing their sixth consecutive title and are unbeaten in their last 26 Six Nations matches. However, they are expecting a tough challenge from Scotland, who have shown significant improvement in their performances.
With both teams eager to secure a victory, the stage is set for an intense and competitive match in front of a sell-out crowd. Scotland will be looking to make history by defeating their old rivals, while England will be determined to maintain their winning streak. It’s sure to be a thrilling encounter that fans won’t want to miss.
