Hollie Davidson will make history as the first female assistant referee in a Six Nations game when England host Wales at Twickenham in February.

She has been named as assistant referee two for the match, alongside referee James Doleman, fellow assistant Ben O'Keeffe, and TMO Brendon Pickerill.

Davidson became the first female to referee a Six Nations team in a Test when Italy faced Portugal in 2022.

"It is a huge honour," Davidson said.

"Being the first female official in Scotland to do so is something I'm immensely proud of.

"To be involved in such an internationally renowned fixture is something I'm massively looking forward to and I can't wait to start off 2024 at such an exciting tournament."
