Speaking on the announcement, Head Coach Sarah Scott said “There is so much talent within this age group and we are delighted with the improvement the squad and players have made since our opening 3 match series against England in February. 

 

The squad has gone from strength to strength. It is fantastic we were able to get so many players exposed to high quality opposition and a top-quality strength & conditioning program. As such, selection was a very difficult process given the hard work and commitment given by all the players in the squad. 

 

We are looking forward to working hard over the next five weeks in preparation for Scotland series and the 6 Nations in Eindhoven.”
