Four Leicester Tigers players are set to be involved for Scotland in the fourth round of the 2024 Guinness Six Nations.
Eva Donaldson and Francesca McGhie earn their first starts in the competition whilst Leah Bartlett and Elis Martin are named amongst the replacements.
Lock Donaldson has been a perennial figure in the Tigers team this year, making 11 appearances in Allianz Premiership Women's Rugby, while the versatile forward has made three appearances for Scotland over this year's tournament, all from the replacements.
Wing McGhie, meanwhile, is Leicester Tigers' joint top try scorer for the 2023/24 season (scoring five tries in her 11 starts) and is set for her first start of the 2024 Six Nations after missing the first two rounds.
Scotland are set to take on Italy this Saturday, April 20, with kick-off scheduled for 4.45pm. The match is set to take place at the Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi in Parma and you can watch live via BBC iPlayer.
