Lana Skeldon ready for Australia rematch

Skeldon will earn her 91st cap when Scotland take on Australia at the Accor Stadium in Sydney on Saturday, which is the fourth match of this year’s WXV Global Series and a maiden away Test.

The clash follows challenging contests with Canada, New Zealand and the Wallaroos in Edinburgh, and the experienced hooker is out to make the upcoming matches Down Under count.

Talking about moving up to second in Scotland Women’s all-time appearance list, she said: “I’m incredibly proud.

“I felt a lot of love [when she reached her 90th cap] and I think sometimes I feel like I just dot about doing my own thing, but some of the things that people were saying about me were really special.

“To be up there with the likes of Donna Kennedy – these are people I’ve looked up to my entire career and have been so inspirational to me, but now I’m up there on the list as one of them so I think to myself that I must be doing that [being an inspiration] to somebody else, which is a pinch-me moment.

“I’m just here to make this journey good for myself and good for those around me because if they are having a great time then I’ll be having a great time.”
