Scott Bemand has named an unchanged England side to face Wales at the Twickenham Stoop as the world champions seek to maintain their winning start to the women’s Six Nations.

After victories against Scotland and Italy, England came from behind to beat the holders Ireland in their last match and will attempt to seal the triple crown on Saturday.

The second-row Tamara Taylor will win her 90th England cap, while Abbie Scott moves to blindside flanker and Harriet Millar-Mills is on the bench.

Poppy Cleall is a late change to the replacements bench after Ruth Laybourn sustained a minor hamstring injury.

“We believe we have the right squad to take on Wales,” Bemand said. “We know what an important game this is – Wales will come with confidence after their recent win where their defence was impressive to hold off the French. The starting XV hold a total of 568 caps between them – that is a significant amount of international experience.”

The match kicks off at 6.05pm and tickets are still available on the RFU’s website. The game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports 5 and BBC 5 Live Sports Extra.
