Scotland vs. Fiji in the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup

Salford Community Stadium Date: Saturday, August 30 Kick-off: 14:45 BST

Elis Martin starts against Fiji on Saturday after making one change to the side that defeated Wales in their World Cup opener.

Lana Skeldon, who was a doubt for the tournament due to an ankle injury, was replaced by Martin in the match against Wales, who played 47 minutes.

Molly Wright is named as the Scots’ replacement hooker, which completely negates Skeldon’s chances of winning.

Following her stunning hat-trick against Wales, Francesca McGhie is now lining up on the left while Emma Orr, the other try-scorers, who are coached by Evie Gallagher, eighth-ranked Evie Gallagher, and scrum-half, retains their spots.

With Anne Young and Adelle Ferrie in line for World Cup debuts, head coach Bryan Easson has chosen to play six-two from the bench.

No. 8 Jade Konkel, who replaced Wales, is unmoved.
