Scotland has made a significant change to its lineup for the upcoming Six Nations match against England, with Sale Sharks centre Evie Wills replacing the injured Emma Orr. The match will take place at Murrayfield in Edinburgh on Saturday. Emma Orr, an influential centre for the Bristol Bears, will miss the remainder of the Six Nations due to a knee injury sustained during Scotland's 24-19 victory over Wales.

The announcement regarding her absence had already been made prior to this lineup change. In addition to Wills' inclusion, Trailfinders wing Fran McGhie is considered fit enough only for the bench following her return from injury. Shona Campbell will continue on the left flank for the match against England.

Scotland head coach Sione Fukofuka has also called up Montpellier's Holly McIntyre as a replacement for Orr, although McIntyre will not make the bench for the match.
