Holland Bogan comes into the starting XV after missing out on the clash with Canada last time out, starting in the second row for her first appearance in WXV.

Anne Young joins Ainsworth in being promoted to the starting lineup, as she starts at loose-head prop for the visit of the Black Ferns.

Young joins Elliann Clarke in the front row, the tight-head continuing at the coal face after an industrious showing a week ago.

Two further Warriors await their opportunity from the replacements bench, with Aicha Sutcliffe continuing in the number 16 jersey after making an impact after coming on last weekend.

Rhea Clarke completes the cohort of Warriors selected in the matchday 23, rotating to the bench after making her first start in a Scotland jersey last Saturday.

The match is live on BBC Alba this weekend, with kick-off at Hive Stadium scheduled for 5.10pm this Saturday.
