She is one of five changes head coach John Mitchell has made to the starting XV that beat France last weekend, as Abbie Ward returns at lock, and a new front row is installed with Mackenzie Carson, Lark Atkin-Davies and Sarah Bern featuring.

Elsewhere, Gloucester-Hartpury back row Georgia Brock is in line for a Test debut, should she feature from the bench.

“Our focus is to always stay focused on the main thing in our processes and how we are going to play against New Zealand,” Mitchell said. “Every occasion at Allianz Stadium is really important to us and we know we will have to earn the right to contest a final here in 2025. We want to play here on a consistent basis and every time we go out and play here, we want to perform. We want to do it for the girls.”
