The Capital side defeated their great rivals Hillhead/Jordanhill 30-10 and Scotland cap Rollie showed her talent with two tries. She is in her first season at the club having moved from Melrose and it was the first time she had played at the national stadium since a youth.

“To play at Murrayfield is something I have been keen to do for a while and to do it with this group of players and score tries makes it extra special,” she said.
