Red Roses side to play Wales in 2025 Six Nations second round

England Women's head coach John Mitchell has named his team to play Wales on Saturday 29 March at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff.

Ellie Kildunne will earn her 50th Test cap, whilst Olympian Abi Burton is set for a Red Roses debut should she feature from the bench.

Mitchell has made 13 changes from the team that defeated Italy in the opening round of the Guinness Women’s Six Nations.

Gloucester-Hartpury’s Tatyana Heard and Megan Jones of Leicester Tigers form a centre partnership with Natasha Hunt (Gloucester-Hartpury) and Zoe Harrison (Saracens) making up the half-back positions. 

Bristol Bears duo Lark Atkin-Davies and Sarah Bern come into the front row alongside Gloucester-Hartpury prop Mackenzie Carson. Abbie Ward lines up with Sale Sharks’ Morwenna Talling in the second row. 

Captain Zoe Aldcroft (Gloucester-Hartpury) and Exeter Chiefs Number 8 Maddie Feaunati maintain their starting roles and Loughborough Lightning’s Sadia Kabeya is promoted to the seven jersey.
