TEAM NEWS | Trailfinders Women v Sale Sharks

This weekend Sale Sharks Women head to the capital to face Ealing Trailfinders and Sharks fans can watch the game unfold live on YouTube.

Rachel Taylor makes a couple of changes to her team after last weekend’s double header at the Salford Community Stadium. There’s rotation at scrum half as Olivia Ortiz replaces Sofia Stefan after her return from injury last week.

Eva Wood replaces Holly Thorpe, who has a slight knock, on the left wing and Vicky A Irwin starts at outside centre. Nick James is back in the front row and Jasmine Hazell moves to the bench with Lucie Sams coming in at eight.

Molly Morrissey will be looking to make an impact, she joins the matchday squad for the first time this season as an impact player after recovering from injury and Amelia Ayndman, the England U20s front row star, also joins the substitutes.

Kick off this Saturday is at 3pm and Sharks fans can choose to follow live updates on our Twitter as well as the full game streamed on Trailfinders YouTube
