Seven Edinburgh Rugby women’s players are named in the Scotland Women U20 squad to face Wales Women U20 in today’s Six Nations Summer Series clash at the Centre for Sporting Excellence in Ystrad Mynach, Caerphilly (Friday 11 July, kick-off 6pm).
In the pack, Merryn Gunderson shifts from number eight to blindside flanker as Charlotte Russell continues at lock.
In the backs, Lucy MacRae starts at inside centre as Lisa Brown continues on the wing.
Megan Riach (prop), Emily Love (scrum-half) and Holly McIntyre (centre) are all selected among the replacements.
Speaking ahead of the match, Scotland Women U20 Head Coach Louise Dalgliesh said: “We’re really happy with the intent and the bravery the team showed against England, we connected both in attack and defence and put some really good blocks together. I’m really pleased to see the girls put into practice what we have been working on.
“We’ve reviewed on some of the bits that didn’t quite go right last weekend, and we have had a good week of training to prepare ourselves on how to adapt to the different threats that Wales pose.
“We enjoyed a hit-out against Wales as part of our preparations before the competition, so we have a degree of familiarity and know what we will need to do to come away with points.”
