RAF star to return to England line-up for first time in 12 months in Scotland Six Nations clash

RAF rugby union star Amy Cokayne will return to the England line-up for the first time in 12 months against Scotland in the Six Nations on Saturday.

The Leicester Tigers hooker has been picked to start the match and has good form against the Scots with two tries in last year’s 58-7 win for the Red Roses in Newcastle.

Cokayne has struggled with a calf injury since signing for Leicester from Harlequins and will miss out on a battle against her RAF teammate Sarah Bonar who is unavailable through injury for Scotland.
