Aitchison to Steer England in WXV Opener The Women's XVs Global Series kicked off with a bang in Manchester, bringing a much needed injection of excitement and competition into the women's Test rugby calendar.
For England's Red Roses, the inaugural match against Australia marked a significant moment – a chance to start their campaign on home soil and give several players a long overdue opportunity to shine.
One player who will benefit from this new era is Holly Aitchison, who will win her 50th cap at fly half in Saturday's opener.
