Rosario delight at England start

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

Plymouth Albion scrum-half Georgina Rozario has said she is delighted to get her first Six Nations start for England against Ireland on Friday.

The 22-year-old has only made one appearance in the tournament this season, coming on as a replacement in the opening win over Italy.

But following England's defeat in Wales 10 days ago Rozario has been selected.

"This is what I've been working towards and looking forward to all season," she told BBC Radio Devon.

"To finally get a starting spot is absolutely brilliant," she added.

She is one of four changes to the line-up after the England's defeat at Taffs Well - their first in the Six Nations since 2005.

"For all of us 22 involved in that squad, the Wales game was bitterly disappointing.

"We've just got to look forward and look to the rest of the Six Nations. We've still got three really hard games ahead of us and we need to put the Wales game behind us now and move on.

"We weren't expecting or anticipating the loss against Wales but we've dealt with it now and the morale in the squad is really, really good," she added.

And Rozario said the key thing for her now is to try and cement herself in the number nine shirt for England, starting with a good performance against Ireland.

"I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself at the moment, I want to play well and show that the decision for me to be starting was a good one and show that I am capable of starting and controlling the game."
