DANIELLE Waterman is in line to win her 75th England cap tomorrow, having been named in the starting line-up to face Canada in the first Test match of the Old Mutual Wealth Series.
Waterman, who hails from Minehead and is now playing her club rugby for Wasps Ladies, has been picked at full-back by Red Roses head coach Simon Middleton.
She has some history with Canada, having scored a sensational solo try against them at the end of last year.

England finished as runners-up in this year's Women's Rugby World Cup in Ireland - Waterman missing the final after suffering concussion in the semi-final - and they are clearly building for the future, with seven uncapped players in the 23-strong squad for Friday's match at Allianz Park.
This is the first of three matches with Canada in the series, with the teams also meeting on November 21 and 25.
Tomorrow night's match kicks off at 7.30pm, and will be broadcast live on the England Rugby website.
