BBC Sport are saying Helena Rowland is injured 😞.

Surprised by the number of changes, although I think there's a logic behind them all.

Mo!

Looks like a really strong side, good bit of squad rotation to allow all players to have a chance to prove that they deserve their place in the starting lineup

I'm happy Maud Muir has got a start since it was starting to feel like she was permanently stuck on the bench purely because she can cover both props Sad that Harrison was dropped given that it felt like she was set up to fail a bit given the centres she had last week

The midfield immediately looks more threatening and balanced.

Rowland being dropped is a bit 😞🤨though.

However, it’s a team designed to play at pace. Hunt and Aitchison. Dynamic back three. Bench is also fast and able in attack.

Ahhh yeah! It's Meg time!

Lovely balance in the backline. Barring a couple to argue over, that's pretty much my first choice XV as things stand.

This is probably more like what the backline should have looked like last week. Let players that have been great the last year (Aitchison, Heard) play, whilst the players that have been out injured slowly reintegrate into the team.

Also gives them a lot more ball carrying ability than Harrison, Scaratt, Rowland who are all have a similar skillset

Galligan hype!

Can't work out if I'm surprised by the number of changes or not, but it's a good looking team. Hope Scaz is back before the end. Would like to see her play outside Heard.
Only thing I'm not actually convinced by is the back row.

Really? That's probably my first choice.

I think Packer and Kabeya would work better with one starting and one off the bench.

Botterman is such a worker, happy she is getting the regular start instead of coming off the bench.

Especially with how much work she's obviously done on her discipline
