Caity Mattinson makes her Scotland debut as six changes are made by the visitors for Saturday's Women’s Six Nations game in Italy.
The scrum half, who switched allegiances from England this summer, forms a new partnership with Sarah Law as half-back, while Shona Cameron returns to the wing.
Emma Wassell is back in the second row following an injury. Rachel McLachlan takes over as openside flanker. Molly Wright is at loosehead prop.
Scotland began with three defeats.
Jade Konkel was injured and substituted in the second quarter of the France home defeat.
Bryan Easson has made three changes to the positional positions. He said that players were pushing each other during training this week, which was pleasing ahead of the Rugby World Cup.
“With two home games remaining, we want more clinical and composed performances to close our campaign against Ireland and Italy.
“We know that Italy plays from deep within its territory and kicks less than many teams in the tournament, so we are prepared and know what to expect.”
