Following the physical battle against Hampshire Women on Sunday Cornwall Women have been forced to make a few changes ahead of the game at Tabard RFC this Sunday, kick-off 2:30 pm.
In the backs, Joey Sandercock starts on the wing in place of the unavailable Beccy Bennett, whilst at scrum-half Amy Warman drops to the bench with Lisa Allin starting.
In the forwards Roberta Smith-Scotland moves to flanker in place of Elizabeth Langton, who picked up an injury, with Emily Kneale moving from the bench to No.8.
On the bench, prop Caitlin Eddy (Helston) gets a call up whilst the Penryn’s Georgia Hall and Launceston’s Rachel Hicks come onto the bench.
