Amy Cokayne Returns to England Team for Six Nations Clash Against Scotland
Amy Cokayne is set to make a triumphant return to the international stage for England’s Women’s Six Nations clash with Scotland this Saturday, marking her first appearance in 12 months. The talented hooker is one of two changes to the England team that secured a convincing victory over Wales, with lock Abbie Ward also joining the starting XV.
Regular England captain Marlie Packer, who has been leading the team for the past year, will be stepping down to the bench for the upcoming match, allowing Zoe Aldcroft to take over the captaincy duties. Aldcroft, who recently celebrated her 50th cap, will also be transitioning from lock to blindside flanker for the game against Scotland.
The Red Roses are looking to continue their winning streak in the 2024 Women’s Six Nations tournament after securing back-to-back victories. With Cokayne’s return adding depth to the squad and Aldcroft leading the team with confidence, England is poised for another strong performance on the field.
Head coach John Mitchell emphasized the importance of having a fully fit squad, with players competing for their positions based on performance and fitness levels. The competition within the team is fierce, pushing each player to strive for excellence and maintain peak physical condition.
As England prepares to face Scotland in Edinburgh, fans can expect an exciting and competitive match as the Red Roses aim to maintain their winning momentum in the tournament. Stay tuned for what promises to be a thrilling showdown between these two talented teams on the international stage.
