Head Coach Neill Alcorn has made three personnel changes to the starting line up with Christy Haney, Anna Doyle and the 2024 World Rugby Women’s XV Dream Team’s Aoife Wafer making her first appearance of the competition. There are positional changes with Claire Boles and Erin King moving to six and seven to facilitate Wafer at eight with Ella Roberts also moving to eleven having started at fourteen last week.
Brython Thunder will be looking for their first win in the competition this weekend, having lost both derby games against Gwalia and being beaten narrowly by Edinburgh in round three.
