PROUD Borderer Chloe Rollie is poised to make her 50th appearance for her country in tomorrow’s Summer Test series against USA at the DAM Health Stadium (Saturday August 27 kick-off 4pm) – live on scottishrugby.org.
The Jedburgh raised full-back made her debut against France in the 2015 Six Nations.
Fellow Borderer Lana Skeldon retains her place in the front row while in the back division Hawick’s Lisa Thomson and Biggar’s Emma Orr have been selected at inside and outside centre respectively.
Scotland Women Head Coach Bryan Easson said: “It has been the first time we have been able to have a full pre-season as a group.
“I am really pleased to see the 7s players coming back and following an extensive pre-season period, the exciting part now is for us all it get on the field and put together everything that we have been working on.
“Our long term goal is the first game in New Zealand against Wales, however, this match is still part of our build-up and crucial preparation towards the main showpiece event in New Zealand.”
