Teams named for U18 women festival double-header

6 Apr 2026

Head Coach Lindsey Smith has named two Scotland Women U18 teams for fixtures against England (kick off 12pm) and Ireland (kick off 2pm) in the U18 Six Nations Festival at Wellington College, England today - live on YouTube.

The two games will consist of one 35-minute half each, giving teams the opportunity to experience more styles of opponent across the three festival matchdays.

28 players have been selected for both matches, with a full 15 positional or personnel changes between the two starting teams.

Eve Mackay, who captained the side for their opening day draw with Italy, will lead the team for the first fixture against England.

Loosehead prop Ellen Nimmo will then take the reigns for the 2pm fixture against Ireland.
