GIL STEVENSON, the head coach, has made two changes and one positional switch in the Scotland women's starting XV for the game against Wales in the Six Nations at Sardis Road, Pontypridd tonight (7pm).
Murrayfield Wanderers' Lucy Millard, the first-choice full-back, returns from an ankle injury for her 20th cap and Gillian McCord, the Watsonians prop, comes off the bench for Lynne Reid (Royal High) , who is dropped altogether.
Richmond's Karen Finday, the former captain, moves from tighthead to loosehead prop to make way for McCord and Gail Russell (Hillhead Jordanhill) comes in for her place on the bench. Melanie Christie (Blaydon) also joins the replacements for full-back Sarah Mears (Watsonians) , who was injured before kickoff last Sunday, and centre Erin Kerr ((Richmond) broke her collar bone after having come on as a replacement.
The No.8, Donna Kennedy, (Worcester) will take her Scottish and women's world record to 88 caps against the Welsh, who have not beaten Scotland for 10 years.
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
