[edit] Current international squad

Currently, two teams exist at the top tier - the Scotland Women's team and the Scotland Women's Development team. No distinctions exist at the time of writing, however, the top 44 players in Scotland have been selected for these two teams [1] and they are:

[edit] Forwards

Kate Barker (Dundee University), Ellen Beattie (Murrayfield Wands), Lana Blyth (Murrayfield Wands), Susie Brown (Hillhead/Jordanhill), Sonia Cull (RHC), Beth Dickens (Murrayfield Wands), Louise Forsyth (RHC), Louise Fraser (Watsonians), Steph Garnet (Watsonians), Katy Green (Murrayfield Wands), Donna Kennedy (unattached), Heather Lockhart (Hillhead/Jordanhill), Jilly McCord (unattached), Alison McDonald (Lismore), Louise Moffat (Kirkcaldy), Emily Murphy (Edinburgh Univ), Rachel Pearson (RHC), Lynne Reid (RHC), Amy Rennie (Murrayfield Wands), Gail Russell (Hillhead/Jordanhill), Sarah-Louise Walker (Watsonians), Lindsay Wheeler (Watsonians), Emily Yarrow (Lismore)

[edit] Backs

Hazel Belinski (Hillhead/Jordanhill), Victoria Blakebrough (Hillhead/Jordanhill), Louise Dalgleish (RHC), Cara D’Silva (Kirkcaldy), Emma Evans (unattached), Veronica Fitzpatrick (RHC), Sarah Gill (Murrayfield Wands), Tanya Griffith (RHC), Lindsey Harley (Murrayfield Wands), Erin Kerr (Richmond), Hayley Legg (Richmond), Donna McGrellis (Kirkcaldy), Lucy Millard (Murrayfield Wands), Suzi Newton (Blaydon), Rachel Nicolson (Hillhead/Jordanhill), Anna Panayotopoulos (Edinburgh Univ), Alex Pratt (Watsonians), Charlie Radcliffe (Murrayfield Wands), Valerie Sanaghan (Kirkcaldy), Laura Steven (Murrayfield Wands), Ruth Slaven (Murrayfield Wands)

Jilly McCord is the captain of the team and stars at either prop or second row. She works as a history and, more significantly, a philosophy teacher at Dollar Academy.

[edit] Management team

There is no current Head Coach after the retiral of Gil Stevenson after the 2006 World Cup. Ali MacKenize, a former international hooker, is now the new team manager after taking over from Ruth Cranston (who held the post for 6 years). Also, no assistant coaches are appointed as of yet after Andy Henderson has stepped down after the 2006 World Cup as well [2].

[edit] Notable internationalists

• Paula Chalmers, Scrum Half, named in World Cup Star XV [3]
• Donna Kennedy, Number 8, most capped Women's Rugby player ever and most capped Scottish internationalist
