Katy Daley-Mclean will earn her 100th international cap for England in the Red Roses’ opening Quilter Internationals Test against USA Women at Allianz Park on Friday.

Kickoff is Friday, Nov. 9 at 1:45 PM CT LIVE on FloRugby.

England Women head coach Simon Middleton will cap four new players in the starting 15, with two additional new names on the bench.

Saracens prop Ellena Perry starts at loosehead with Firwood Waterloo teenager Sarah Beckett at No 8, while in the backs, centers Tatyana Heard (Gloucester-Hartpury) and Carys Williams (Loughborough Lightning) start at 12 and 13 respectively.

With regular Red Roses captain Sarah Hunter on the bench, Harlequins lock Abbie Scott will lead the side. Additionally from the bench, Wasps scrum-half Claudia Macdonald and Bristol Bears centre Lucy Attwood will be looking for their first international appearance.

“We know where we are and there’s a lot of excitement among the squad to start a new international season," said Middleton

"We have new talent among the group who have developed their rugby through the pathway and Tyrrells Premier 15s and bring a mix of rugby backgrounds to the setup. It’s important to give players opportunities and there is a lot to play for.

“The USA are match ready from their game against the Black Ferns and will be hardened and wiser for last weekend. Like them, we are ready and expect a tough game on Friday.”

Of the captaincy, he said: “Abbie is a natural leader and a rugby smart player, she will do a great job.”

Daley-Mclean, who earned her first England cap against Scotland in 2007, captained England to victory in the 2014 Women’s Rugby World Cup before going on to represent Team GB in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

Starting at flyhalf, the 32-year-old brings considerable experience to the young side alongside fellow 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup squad members Scott, Vicky Fleetwood, Zoe Aldcroft, Lydia Thompson, plus Hunter, Heather Kerr and Vickii Cornborough.

"Katy is one of the greatest women’s players ever. It’s a remarkable achievement to get 100 caps for your country, especially considering she took time out in the sevens programme to represent Team GB in the Olympics," said Middleton. “She has everything; an accomplished skillset, ability and a thorough understanding of the game. Katy is a great asset to England, a natural leader and an inspirational player. She knows how to inspire a team and is a great on-field motivator.”
