Overview
- Michaela Leonard has been named to start in the second row and will reach 50 Test caps for the Wallaroos if she takes the field against Scotland in Edinburgh.
- Coach Tim Walsh made five changes to the matchday 23 after the 29-26 loss to France, with Brianna Hoy returning to the starting XV.
- The bench includes loosehead Martha Fua, who is in line to make her first appearance of the European tour, and Jemma Bemrose as a fresh option.
- Desiree Miller stays in the backs and can reach 100 career points for the Wallaroos if she scores at least four points in the Scotland game.
- Leonard’s near-50 appearances underline how few Tests the Wallaroos have played historically—she has featured in 49 of 102 Tests since 1994—and the tour is being used to mix experienced leaders with new players ahead of a planned full-time Wallaroos high-performance programme.
