Emma Orr’s return is the one change to the Scotland XV for Saturday’s remaining Girls’s Six Nations towards Eire.

Orr, who missed final week’s win over Italy following a concussion, replaces Lisa Thomson at outdoors centre.

Thomson doesn’t function within the match day squad.

“Lisa Thomson has returned to the GB sevens programme forward of the occasion in Toulouse but it surely’s good to see Emma Orr returning for the finale,” mentioned head coach Bryan Easson.

“We all know Eire will throw all the things at us, however we all know what to anticipate and will probably be prepared for the problem. We have focussed on ourselves this week and if we get our processes proper, the result will deal with itself.”

Orr sustained a head knock in week three towards France and was not able to return towards the Italians.

Scotland jumped as much as fourth within the desk with a 29-21 victory, ending a 12-Check dropping run.

Eire go into the ultimate fixture chasing their first win of the event and have solely scored 15 factors from their 4 outings.

“We have gone for consistency when it comes to group choice and after final weekend’s win towards Italy, the gamers deserve the prospect to construct on that efficiency,” added Easson.

Scotland: C Rollie, C Grant, E Orr, M Smith, F McGhie, H Nelson, M McDonald; L Bartlett, L Skeldon, C Belisle, J Konkel-Roberts, L McMillan, R Malcolm (capt), R McLachlan, E Gallacher.

Replacements: J Rettie, A Younger, E Clarke, E Donaldson, E Sinclair, C Mattinson, B Blacklock, L Musgrove.
