Jasmine Joyce-Butchers returns to action for Sunday’s PWR semi-final clash with Gloucester-Hartpury at Queensholm on Sunday (3pm KO).
The Wales and GB Sevens star is named on the wing for the re-run of last season’s final, as Dave Ward makes just one change for the West Country derby.
Courtney Keight continues at full back after another impressive display against Harlequins in Round 17, while Player of the Match Christiana Balogun keeps her place on the openside flank.
Hannah Botterman, Lark Atkin-Davies and Sarah Bern complete an all-England front row, while Amber Reed and Abbie Ward co-captain the side once again.
Head Coach, Dave Ward, said: “We’re really excited for another huge PWR occasion in front of what promises to be a big crowd and atmosphere at Queensholm.
“The girls have worked so hard and shown so much character to get us to this point and we’re relishing the opportunity to go head-to-head with the back-to-back winners for a place in the final.”
