Home nations crunch clash

ENGLAND and Scotland have been drawn together in Group D for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in France next summer.

Shelley Kerr’s Scotland are making their debut and England, managed by Phil Neville, are looking to improve on their semi-final showing in 2015.

The clash between the two home nations will be the opening match for both teams.

England also face a rematch with Japan, against whom they suffered a heartbreaking loss in the last four of the last World Cup in Canada.
