Pretty sure Scaz is born and raised Leicester. Definitely a Tigers fan.

I am sure you have caught me out with this one, so I am going to adopt the approach the Scots take to anyone South African. I am going to claim her as a Yorkshire girl on the basis that her mum had a photograph of someone who had a friend who had once bought a bus ticket in Wakefield. That way she qualifies. Same basis as Ben White really!!!

She was in Yorkshire for some of her life at Leeds Metropolitan University.

Hi, has anyone had their tickets for this match? I thought they'd been emailed to me but can't seem to find them.

Less than 5000 'regular' tickets left on the website, the only place you can get them now. Capacity is apparently 23000. Throw in some hospitality. Not sure where the discrepancy is, unless there's a lag in the reported numbers.

Should be nearer 17000 by my estimate.

Super strong English team announced! Emily Scarratt will make her 100th cap at Welford Road! :smt041

Return to action for (World Player of the Year) Zoe Aldcroft, Amy Cokayne and Hannah Botterman. Helena Rowland the only real experiment at 15.

Unfortunately, Ireland have been weakened by their Sevens team nicking several of their starters. They'll likely find it a tough afternoon.

Looks like the weather will hold.
England: Rowland; Thompson, Scarratt, Aitchison, Breach; Harrison, Infante; Cornborough, Davies, Bern, Aldcroft, Ward, Matthews, Packer, Hunter (capt).

Replacements: Cokayne, Botterman, Muir, Galligan, Cleall, Hunt, Reed, Kildunne.

Ireland: Scuffil-McCabe; Doyle, Naoupu, Breen, Considine; Cronin, Dane; Djougang, Jones, Haney; Fryday (capt), McDermott; Wall, McMahon, O'Connor.

Replacements: Hooban, Pearse, O'Dwyer, Moore, Og O'Leary, Reilly, Claffey, Byrne.

Looks like weather is going to be sunny, but gusty.

Live on BBC2, if you can't make it. :smt023

I know they obviously can't know for sure yet but did they manage to beat the attendance record in tickets sold?
