After describing her Scotland debut last weekend as "totally surreal", Adelle Ferrie says "there is nothing that could stop me now".

The 27-year-old came on as a late replacement as the Scots opened their Women's Six Nations account with a 24-21 victory over Wales at Hive Stadium.

A trip to play France on Saturday is next up for the national side.

Having now got one cap, the Corstorphine Cougars second row is determined to make sure many more come her way.

"[It was] just totally surreal," Ferrie said.

"A moment I have wanted for so long and you never know if it is actually going to happen, so it just felt unreal to be out there.

"I have worked so hard to get here, there is nothing I feel like could stop me now just to progress further. I take on everything, the coaches and players are feedbacking to me so there is no stopping me.

"I came to rugby quite late, I started playing when I was around 18 when I was at university so it is not like a dream I have had since I was a young girl.

"Just really in the last four or five years it is something I have aspired to do but I have had coaches say 'this could be possible' so I really tried my best, worked hard to get it, to get that moment.

"There were times I doubted myself, even just a few months ago I didn't think it was going to happen this year.

"After a few conversations with coaches it came alive that it might actually happen."
