Scotland Women will close their 2026 Guinness Women’s Six Nations campaign against Ireland on Sunday at the Aviva Stadium, with kick-off set for 2.30pm and Helen Nelson leading the side once more. Sione Fukofuka has made two changes to the XV for the final round, while the match will be shown live on iPlayer.

Emily Coubrough comes in at number eight for her fourth appearance of the championship, while Shona Campbell returns on the left wing. Leah Bartlett and Elis Martin start at loosehead prop and hooker, with Elliann Clarke at tighthead prop throughout the tournament and Louise McMillan alongside vice-captain Emma Wassell in the second row. Becky Boyd and Eva Donaldson complete the back row at blindside and openside flanker.

The back line keeps its familiar shape, with Rachel Philipps at outside centre and Meryl Smith inside her. Smith will go five starts from five at inside centre in this year’s Six Nations, underlining how settled Scotland have been in that channel. Rhona Lloyd is named on the right wing, Chloe Rollie at full-back, and Leia Brebner-Holden joins Nelson at half-back.

The replacements are split five-three between forwards and backs. Aicha Sutcliffe keeps her place in the matchday squad after scoring a try on her Scotland debut, while Coreen Grant comes into the 23 for the first time in this championship. The squad details give Scotland a final look at how far the side has come across the competition, with caps ranging from Nelson’s 85 to Sutcliffe’s single cap.

There is a steady line through the selection, and the small number of changes suggests Scotland are finishing the tournament with a team built around continuity rather than reinvention. That makes the Dublin test feel less like a reset than a final judgment on a side that has stayed largely intact through the spring, now asking one last performance to match the shape of the squad.

This is Scotland Women’s last outing in the 2026 Guinness Women’s Six Nations, and it arrives with a full 23-player squad and cap counts that show both experience and inexperience in the same frame. The question now is not who Scotland are, but whether this group can deliver one clean final answer at the Aviva Stadium.
