Bartlett set to start as Wills returns for Scotland

Three Leicester Tigers players have been selected for Scotland's final match of the 2025 Guinness Women's Six Nations.

The Scots take on Ireland in round five at Hyde Park, Edinburgh this Saturday, April 26 (2.30pm). Supporters can watch live on BBC iPlayer.

Leah Bartlett will start her first match of this year's competition, after featuring off the bench in the opening four rounds.

Francesca McGhie retains her place on the wing, whilst Evie Wills returns to the replacements.

The centre made her first international appearance in almost four years against France in round two and, should she enter the field, will earn her fifth cap.
