Claudia Moloney-MacDonald and Holly Aitchison return to the starting lineup for England's crucial Six Nations clash against Wales. This decision could significantly impact England's strategy as they seek to build on their recent success.
Moloney-MacDonald missed last week's win over Scotland but now reclaims her spot on the wing, while Aitchison takes the No. 10 jersey. Making her debut is 20-year-old winger Millie David, who has been outstanding in the Women’s Premiership, scoring 26 tries in 36 games for Bristol. David will join Moloney-MacDonald and fullback Ellie Kildunne in England’s back-three, with Jess Breach moving to the bench.
In the centers, Helena Rowland partners captain Meg Jones, and Lucy Packer teams up with Aitchison in the halves. The formidable front row features Mackenzie Carson, Amy Cokayne, and Sarah Bern, with Abi Burton and Delaney Burns in the locks. The back row includes Sadia Kabeya, Marlie Packer, and Maddie Feaunati.
Head coach John Mitchell emphasizes the need to focus on strengths and areas for improvement against a Wales team that is evolving under Sean Lynn. England aims to evolve their game further as they prepare for this challenging encounter.
