RICHMOND'S Karen Findlay will earn her 68th cap as she leads out the Scotland women's team for the 50th time, believed to be a record in any men's or women's sport in Scotland, in their third Six Nations Championship match against Spain today.
The game has been switched to Old Anniesland in Glasgow to help keep Murrayfield in the best possible condition, and coach Gil Stevenson has been forced into a late change, with Lisa O'Keefe (Richmond) retaining her place after injury to Sarah Mee (Watsonians) in training.
Lee Cockburn (Royal High Corstorphine), Scotland's second most experienced player with more than 70 caps, comes back at lock with O'Keefe now instead of Mee, who had swopped berths with Clare Muir (Richmond) in the back row.
Donna Kennedy will increase her world record to 80 caps out of Scotland's 85 matches since 1993.
Scotland Women (v Spain, Six Nations Ch'ship, Old Anniesland, today, 2.45) L Millard (Murrayfield Wndrs), M Christie (Blaydon), K Davies (Hillhead/Jordanhill), V Fitzpatrick (Royal High Corstorphine), E Kerr (Richmond), R Petlevannaya, P Chalmers (both Murrayfield Wndrs), K Findlay (Richmond, captain), I Frickleton, J McCord (both Watsonians), L Cockburn (RHC), L O'Keefe (Richmond), C Muir (Richmond), D Kennedy (Worcester), S Watt (Supermarine). Substitutes: G Russell (Hillhead/Jordanhill), L Reid (RHC), H Lockhart, S Brown (both Hillhead/ Jordanhill), M P Tierney (Watsonians), C Ovendon (Richmond); * E Evans (Lismore). * denotes uncapped
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
