Lisa Cockburn and Lana Skeldon have been included in Scotland’s XV for their World Cup Pool B decider against Canada in Exeter on Saturday.

Scotland have beaten Wales and Fiji to guarantee a place in the quarter-finals and next take on Canada, ranked second in the world and who also have two wins from two, to decide who finishes atop the pool.

Head coach Bryan Easson has made only two changes with Cockburn set for her first start of the tournament at tighthead and Skeldon returning as hooker, having dropped out against Fiji last week.

Elis Martin drops down to the bench, while Elliann Clarke, who was replaced by Cockburn against Fiji, misses out altogether, with lock Sarah Bonar set to earn her 50th Scotland cap.

Tighthead Molly Poolman and Evie Wills, who can operate at fly-half or centre, could make their World Cup debuts after being named among the replacements.
