Lineup: Sale Sharks vs Trailfinders Women

Trailfinders Women announce their lineup to face Sale Sharks for the first-ever Allianz PWR game at the Salford Community Stadium.

There are six changes to the starting XV that took on Bristol Bears last time out.

The front row is unchanged as Liz Crake returns at loosehead following her week in England camp.

There are no changes in the engine room, as Tyson Beukeboom and Amelia Buckland-Hurry keep their places.

Kate Zackary moves from centre to number eight, joining Shannon Ikahihifo and Rowena Burnfield.

Ellie Green returns to fly-half, joining Emma Swords in the half-backs.

It’s all change in the midfield, with Carys Cox and Julia Schell making the centre pairing.

Rosie Inman returns to the back three, joining Vicky Laflin and Abby Dow.

On the bench, Abi Burton could feature in the pack on her return from the World Sevens Series.
