Scott returns for Scotland’s WXV Tests in Australia

Lucia Scott has returned to the Scotland women's rugby squad for the upcoming WXV Global Series fixtures against Australia in Sydney and Canberra. Interim head coach Dave Butcher has also included uncapped players Nicole Flynn and Imogen Spence. Scott previously missed recent home defeats against Canada, New Zealand, and Australia due to injury.

Rachel Phillips is also available again following concussion protocols, but experienced players Alex Stewart and Emma Wassell are sidelined with injuries. Scotland faces Australia at Accor Stadium on October 17 before playing at Gio Stadium on October 23.
