Posted 1 months ago

Centre Emily Scarratt will make her 100th start for England on Saturday in a match against New Zealand, marking the first game at the newly named Allianz Stadium.

Emily Scarratt, 34, will become the third England player to make 100 starts, following Sarah Hunter and Rochelle Clark. She is one of five changes to the team that beat France 38-19 last weekend.

In the front row, Mackenzie Carson, Lark Atkin-Davies, and Sarah Bern replace Hannah Botterman, Amy Cokayne, and Maud Muir.

Lock Abbie Ward returns from injury, with Morwenna Talling moving to the bench.

Helena Rowland, Scarratt's Loughborough Lightning teammate, is also on the bench after scoring a try against France.

This match against New Zealand is the second warm-up before the WXV tournament and the first at the newly renamed Allianz Stadium.
