“That [whether she plays inside or outside centre] is probably more of a conversation for Mitch. Certainly in this Six Nations, it’s definitely a focus on 13,” Scarratt said.
“Jade Shekells has come in to fill a bit of that 12 gap behind Tatyana [Heard], and Holly [Aitchison] is playing there this weekend.
“There are times where I will fit into that, whether it’s in training or in games. We’re blessed with a few people that can float into different positions.
“Playing 13, trying to compete for a shirt with Megan Jones is tough at the moment, so if there’s another opportunity to potentially play, I’ll definitely take it. But at the moment, the focus is definitely on 13.”
Asked if she feels more comfortable playing at outside centre, she added: “I think so, just looking at the numbers and the amount of times I’ve played there compared to everywhere else.
“I was getting into a little groove at 12 and I don’t mind it. The way England play and bits at Loughborough where it’s a bit more interchangeable, they kind of blend into one a little bit.
“I do prefer perhaps being one out, especially defensively – I think there are more problems to be solved out a channel wider. But I just would want to be on the field, to be honest.”
