Ellie Kildunne will begin Friday night’s Test against the USA on the bench, marking a change from her prominent role in the Red Roses’ recent rise to world champions.
Kildunne has been described as a figurehead throughout that period, making her omission from the starting XV a notable selection decision ahead of the fixture. She has been closely associated with the team’s progress and success, but will not start against the USA.
The available information does not state why Kildunne has been moved to the bench, nor does it identify who will take her place in the starting line-up. No further details have been provided about the team selection or whether the decision is linked to form, tactics or another factor.
The latest confirmed position is that Kildunne is among the replacements for Friday night’s Test, with the Red Roses preparing to face the USA.
