Wales Women head coach Rowland Phillips has made five changes for his side's final Test of the autumn - against Canada on Saturday (Cardiff Arms Park, 11.30am).
Captain Carys Phillips returns alongside Osprey team mate Amy Evans and Dragons Caryl Thomas up front, with fellow Ospreys Siwan Lillicrap and Mel Clay partnering in the second row. The only change in the backs from the team that beat Hong Kong 65-0 last Friday sees Keira Bevan return at scrum half. She links up with her regional teammates Alecs Donovan and Lauren Smyth to complete the Ospreys backline contingent.
On the bench, Kelsey Jones, Cara Hope, Natalia John and Gwen Crabb provide the cover to bring the Ospreys representation to 11 in the Welsh side.
Phillips said: "There's a huge excitement in the camp about representing Wales against one of the best female teams in the world.
"We lost twice to Canada in the World Cup last year but we have taken positive steps to improve following that experience. I know our conditioning and skills are better and this is an outstanding opportunity to test ourselves and get a clear indication of where we lie as a team.
"We have used a small squad during these November games which has allowed us to expose a number of players to international rugby and build momentum going into the Six Nations.
"We knew South Africa would be physical, we were pleased with the rugby we put together against Hong Kong, but Canada was always going to be the toughest test. Having watched them against England on the weekend, they pose threats across the pitch. They are big athletes and play a fast game with width.
"To get better, we want to play the top teams and we're looking forward to this challenge."
