Scotland women’s team head coach Jules Maxton has shown faith in the same 23-strong squad which lost 59-0 to Ireland in the opening six nations tie for the game against England in Aberdeen on Sunday.
But Maxton has made three changes to the starting XV as prop Heather Lockhart, scrum half Louise Dalgliesh and centre Laura Steven have been promoted from the bench to face the Auld Enemy at Rubislaw (2pm).
Lockhart takes the loosehead jersey as captain Tracy Balmer moves into the tighthead berth. Dalgliesh gets the nod ahead of Sarah Law and Steven starts at inside centre, in turn moving Gillian Inglis to 13 and Annabel Sergeant to the right wing.
Ruth Slaven and Tess Forsberg have also reversed roles as the former plays on the blindside flank, the latter on openside.
Scotland hooker Sarah Quick said: “There’s a great rivalry between ourselves and England. Everyone wants to pull on the shirt and give it their all in these matches. We’re all really looking forward to going up to Aberdeen. It’s a new setting for us. Hopefully, we can get a good crowd who will get behind us and create a fantastic atmosphere.
“From last week we’ve learned that we need to bring a high level of intensity from the first whistle. In the last quarter of the Ireland match we really upped our game and competed well. We’ve just got to make sure we carry this on. There’s two teams, one ball, one game.
“It’s who can be the most physical and show the greatest desire who will come out on top.”
