Rozario will make her first ever Six Nations start for England on Friday

Plymouth Albion scrum-half Georgina Rozario is set to make her first ever start in the Six Nations on Saturday.

The 22-year-old has been named in the team's starting XV for their match against Ireland in Dublin on Friday.

Rozario was an unused replacement in England's last match, a 16-15 defeat by Wales 10 days ago.

Rozario made her Six Nations debut as a replacement against Italy in the first game of the campaign when she played for the last 30 minutes.

"Ireland have had a good Six Nations so far, beating France for the first time in the opening game and then adding a win against Italy with a strong second-half performance," said head coach Gary Street.

"They'll be buoyed by those wins, but our focus is on us and our game. The Grand Slam might have gone for us, but we are determined to win our fourth Six Nations title. Our hat is still in the ring for that."
