What the coach said:
“We’re in a position now where we can looks at team analytically, and we can pick a team that reflects the opposition we’re playing against while also looking at the opportunities that we have too.

- Scotland’s six tries in the competition so far have come from six different scorers; Chloe Rollie, Lana Skeldon, Coreen Grant, Francesca McGhie, Rhona Lloyd and Alex Stewart.
- This is the first time these two sides have faced each other since the 2021 Rugby World Cup, where the Wallaroos won a tight affair 14-12.
