England turn to Natasha Hunt at scrum-half for Six Nations clash with Ireland

Natasha Hunt will start for England against Ireland (David Davies/PA).

England scrum-half Natasha Hunt will make her first appearance of the TikTok Women’s Six Nations against Ireland in Cork on Saturday.

Hunt was a controversial omission from the Red Roses squad that reached the World Cup final last autumn on the grounds that her instinct to run was at odds with head coach Simon Middleton’s preference for a nine with consistent delivery.
