'Warrior' Wassell helps Scotland amid tumour diagnosis

Easson has made nine alterations for the first ever meeting with Fiji after last week's comprehensive win against Wales.

One of those is Meryl Smith moving from inside centre to fly-half to replace usual starter and kicker Helen Nelson, who is on the bench.

After appearing at her second Olympic Games as part of Great Britain's sevens team, Lisa Thomson makes her return to replace Smith at 12.

In the pack, Anne Young and Elliann Clarke both earn their first Scotland starts at loosehead and tighthead prop respectively, with Lana Skeldon at hooker.

Scotland host Fiji on Saturday at Hive Stadium, live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app, in their final warm-up match before heading to South Africa to defend their WXV2 title.

"It'll be an entertaining game - it's Fiji," Easson said.

"They're a big front five. Their set piece, it's big, but they'll offload. They'll have a go at us so we've planned accordingly."

Scotland: Chloe Rollie, Rhona Lloyd, Emma Orr, Lisa Thomson, Coreen Grant, Meryl Smith, Caity Mattinson; Anne Young, Lana Skeldon, Elliann Clarke, Louise McMillan, Sarah Bonar, Rachel Malcolm (capt), Rachel McLachlan, Jade Konkel.

Replacements: Elis Martin, Lisa Cockburn, Christine Belisle, Eva Donaldson, Evie Gallagher, Leia Brebner-Holden, Helen Nelson, Lucia Scott.
