Wallaroos head coach Jay Tregonning has named his side for Australia’s second Rugby World Cup match against Scotland, which will take place this Saturday in Whangarei.
Having fully recovered from her ACL injury, winger Maya Stewart is set to make her debut, replacing Ivania Wong in the line-up.
Tighthead prop Eva Karpani has been added to the starting side in lieu of Bridie O’Gorman, who moves to the reserves, while Liz Patu and Adiana Talakai remain the other starting front rowers.
Locks Sera Naiqama and Atasi Lafai complete an unchanged second row, while flankers Emily Chancellor and captain Shannon Parry will resume their usual positions on the field.
“Even though the game at Eden Park didn’t go our way last weekend, it was an invaluable experience for the team,” said Parry.
“Everyone is on the same page for this weekend, we’re all reaching for the same goal and our training has reflected that.
“There’s been a shift in our intensity and the team is raring to compete against Scotland.”
