Hollie Davidson will make history as the first female assistant referee in a Six Nations game when England host Wales at Twickenham in February.
She has been named as assistant referee two for the match, alongside referee James Doleman, fellow assistant Ben O'Keeffe, and TMO Brendon Pickerill.
Davidson became the first female to referee a Six Nations team in a Test when Italy faced Portugal in 2022.
Davidson refereed the Women’s World Cup final between England and New Zealand in 2022, and worked as an assistant referee in three men’s World Cup warm-up Tests this year, including England v Fiji.
The 31-year-old was the only female referee called up for the 2023 World Rugby U20 Championship.
