England v Wales (14:15 BST)
Millie David, starting on the right wing, is the third player to be handed an England debut by John Mitchell at this year’s Six Nations, joining Haineala Lutui and Demelza Short.
The 20-year-old was the joint-leading try-scorer in the Premiership Women’s Rugby last season, crossing over 17 times for Bristol Bears, and has a further nine to her name in 2025-26.
David previously represented England at under-20s and received her first call-up to the senior squad, without playing, ahead of the 2025 Six Nations.
“I just said ‘thank you so much’ over and over. I wanted to say a lot but I couldn’t get anything out because there were a lot of emotions going through my head,” David said, recalling the moment she heard about her debut.
“The fact it’s at Ashton Gate, it doesn’t feel real. My Prem debut for Bears was there, now my Red Roses debut is going to be there – it makes it so special.
“That stadium means a lot to me, Bristol means a lot to me. It’s just so exciting.”
