Lineup: Saracens vs Trailfinders Women

Trailfinders Women announce their lineup to face Saracens at the Stonex Stadium on Saturday in Round Ten of the Allianz PWR.

There are four changes to the starting XV that took on Loughborough Lightning at Loughborough university in Round Nine.

Andrea Stock comes in at Tighthead head for Sara Seye joining Liz Crake and Elisa Riffonneau in the front row.

It is all change in the engine room as Shya Pinnock and Amelia Buckland-Hurry come in to start, and Captain Tyson Beukeboom moves to the bench.

Conversely, the back row is unchanged as Kate Zackary returns at Number Eight after an injury scare in the midlands last time out.

Emma Swords and Ellie Green keep their places in the Half-Backs, while Julia Schell and Carys Cox swap roles in the midfield.

There is one change in the back field with Sofia Rolfi starting on the wing in place of Rosie Inman.

Director of Rugby Giselle Mather said: “We have had a good training week and are really looking forward to testing ourselves against Saracens on Saturday.

“This game marks the start of the second half of the league program and we are looking forward to shaking off the ‘newness tag’ and evolving and polishing the way we play in the second half of the season. The selected squad are really looking forward to starting that process on Saturday.”
