England U18 Women’s head coach James Cooper and assistant coach Oli Perry have confirmed their squads to face Scotland and Ireland on Matchday 2 of the 2026 Under-18 Women’s Six Nations Festival.
Wellington College hosts the two 35-minute fixtures on Monday, with Cooper’s side taking on Scotland at midday and then Ireland at 13:00 BST. All Six Nations Festival fixtures will be streamed live on the Six Nations U20 YouTube channel.
Operating as a 28-strong playing squad, players will be assigned squad numbers consistent across both fixtures against Scotland and Ireland.
Rachael Burford PDG’s Evie Collingbourne captains the U18 Women’s side for the first time against Scotland, whilst Honey Kerslake returns from her training block with the U21 Women’s side to co-captain England against Ireland alongside Meghan Crilly.
Nolli Waterman PDG and Exeter College wing Rose Powell Williams is set for her England U18 debut against Scotland.
England U18 Women conclude their Under-18 Women’s Six Nations Festival against France (16:30 BST kick-off) next Friday.
James Cooper said: “As a group, we’re obviously disappointed with the result against Wales, but there’s real perspective when you consider that 14 of this group are still under-17 and gaining invaluable experience at this level.
“We saw encouraging signs in how the players stuck to our processes and there were some strong learning opportunities, particularly around game management, that will stand us in good stead moving forward with positive intent.
“We’ve connected well around the positive moments, and I’m excited to see how this group responds and grows when we get our next opportunity tomorrow.”
