Scotland name scrum-half Rhea Clarke in the starting line-up for their opening WXV Series match against Canada, with Evie Gallagher also returning to start on the openside flank. The selections shape the forward and back-row balance for Scotland as they begin their campaign.
Both outlets report the same key changes: Clarke is starting for the first time, while Gallagher is back after a period away from the starting XV. The match is presented as Scotland’s first WXV Series fixture, placing emphasis on the lineup choices for an early test against Canada.
The coverage is focused on team news rather than broader storylines, with no additional details provided in the two reports about venue, kick-off time, or tactical plans beyond the positions assigned to Clarke and Gallagher.
