Tenth time lucky!


England number 9

Georgie should collect her tenth cap on Friday in the starting line-up against Ireland in the RBS 6 Nations.

 

1st start for Georgie

Georgie Rozario was confirmed in the starting line up when the RFUW announcement of the England 22 on Monday. England Women take on Ireland at St Mary's RFC in Dublin on Friday night. They will be looking at putting last weeks loss behind them after an unprecedented 20 international match unbeaten run. 

Georgie played no part in the 16 - 15 loss last weekend against Wales. "It was a close match and I was disappointed not to get on the pitch, but I was cover for the two wingers as well as the 9 slot" said Rozario. This was the first time she had not taken part in an England match after being named in the squad.

Rozario says that the whole squad is up for this match and if selected to start she knows that she will need to control the forwards and get the ball quickly out to the backs. "I have to get out there and play my game the best I can."

Last time the two sides met was back in December last year when Rozario played the second half and England took the spoils 19 - 8.
