Scotland vs England at Scotstoun Stadium, Glasgow
Scotland has just two changes to the starting team beaten by France. They are yet to win a match and a victory of powerful England on Fir day night would be a huge upset.
England flyhalf, Katie Daley-Mclean, captains the team while Sarah Hunter drops out because of a calf injury.

France vs Italy at Stade Furiani, Bastia, Corsica
What a romantic thought – going off to the island of Corsica, a port city with hills backing it and splendid wine. It is French but has its own Corsican language – and, of course Italian. It is a good place for France and Italy yo meet on the rugby field.
France has made seven changes to the team that beat Scotland
Italy has moved Giada Franco from lock to No.8. The pack has several changes, obviously looking to be able to take on the physical French.
