Scotland hooker Skeldon passed fit to face Wales

Scotland vs. Wales Rugby World Cup: Women’s World Cup

As they prepare to face Wales in their opening match of the Women’s Rugby World Cup on Saturday, Scotland, according to head coach Bryan Easson, have “pushed aside” the off-field issues that have plagued their preparation.

In the weeks leading up to the tournament, there has been a contentious contract negotiation between the players and Scottish Rugby, which has led to friction.

The departing coach claims that the problems have not prevented his team from accomplishing their goals.

Easson remarked, “We’ve put it off.” This Rugby World Cup has kept our attention,” he continued.

It’s this game, not anything else, because we’re not looking at anything that has come before or is coming after. We could fail if we ignore this game.

“The focus has therefore been on analysing the opposition, and this is what we’re going to do.” The focus is entirely on Scotland vs. Wales in the World Cup match.

Lana Skeldon, a seasoned hooker, has been assessed for Saturday’s game against Wales at Salford City Stadium.

The 31-year-old is recovering from her ankle injury from her three-week absence from Scotland’s final warm-up game against Ireland.

Although her World Cup participation was uncertain, Elliann Clarke and Leah Bartlett, Scotland’s 32-man squad’s most capped player, makes her debut in the front row.

Evie Gallagher will make her Rugby World Cup debut while Sarah Bonar and Emma Wassell will join them in the second row, while Rachel Malcolm, captain, and openside Rachel McLachlan are joined in the back row.

Leia Brebner-Holden, who will play at half-back with fly-half Helen Nelson, will join her in the tournament, while Emma Orr and Lisa Thomson, who are the center, will continue their midfield partnership.

In the Pool B game against a side with whom Scotland and Francesca McGhie are in a fierce conflict, full-back Chloe Rollie will face wingers Rhona Lloyd and Francesca McGhie, who made their World Cup debut.

With experienced pair Jade Konkel and Molly Wright serving as the pack replacements, coach Bryan Easson chose to play the bench at 6: 2.

Alex Callender, who lost her ankle against Australia earlier this month, has been assessed fit for a match against Scotland.

After their second Test defeat in Sydney, the powerful back-rower leads a side that has five players and one positional change.

In recent years, Scotland and Wales have engaged in a number of close fights, most notable of which was won by Kiera Welsh in the 84th minute with a penalty in the 80th minute.

Scotland captain Malcolm claims her team can’t afford to enter the game with that mindset, despite the common expectation that the most recent meeting will turn the tables once more.

We can’t just assume that everything will be the same again, Malcolm said.

“That self-fulfilling prophecy will be here. So what we want to accomplish is all that we can concentrate on.

We’ve been very clear about our plans for a game against Wales and what we can influence in the last few weeks. And that’s all we can do, in my opinion, at that precise moment. And I’m very hoping for a tight game as well as a seesaw battle.

Chloe Rollie, Rhona Lloyd, Emma Orr, Lisa Thomson, Francesca McGhie, Helen Nelson, Leia Brebner-Holden, Leah Bartlett, Lana Skeldon, Elliann Clarke, Emma Wassell, Sarah Bonar, Rachel Malcolm, Rachel McLachlan, and Evie Gallagher are all listed.
