Continuity or experimentation? England have certainly opted for the latter. John Mitchell makes nine changes with Jade Shekells given her first start, at inside-centre, while Marlie Packer lines up at openside flanker. Maddie Feaunati is back in at No 8 with the captain Zoe Aldcroft again at No 6, the only player to start all four matches in the tournament. Rosie Galligan, Sarah Bern and Kelsey Clifford also return to England’s starting XV.
The Scotland captain, Rachel Malcolm, misses out with concussion and the head coach Bryan Easson has made two changes: Jade Konkel comes in at No 8 and Caity Mattinson assumes scrum-half duties in the absence of Leia Brebner-Holden, who is also concussed. Evie Gallagher switches to the blindside with Malcolm sidelined.
England: Kildunne; Dow, Jones, Shekells, MacDonald; Aitchison, L Packer; Clifford, Atkin-Davies, Bern, Galligan, Ward, Aldcroft (capt), M Packer, Feaunati. Replacements: Campbell, Botterman, Muir, Talling, Matthews, Hunt, Rowland, Scarratt.
Scotland: Rollie; Lloyd, Orr, Thomson, McGhie; Nelson (capt), Mattison; Young, Skeldon, Clarke, Bonar, Boyd, Gallagher, McLachlan, Konkel. Replacements: Martin, Bartlett, Poolman, Ferrie, Bell, Clarke, Phillips Scott.
