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.
In the backs, Joey Sandercock starts on the wing in place of unavailable Beccy Bennett, whilst at scrum-half Amy Warman drops to the bench with Lisa Allin moving to the starting berth.
In the forwards Roberta Smith-Scotland moves to flanker in place of Elizabeth Langton, who picked up an injury, with Emily Kneale moving up from the bench to start at No.8.
On the bench, prop Caitlin Eddy (Helston) gets a call up whilst the Penryn’s Georgia Hall comes into the match day squad. Rachel Hicks (Launceston) is also called up onto the bench.
Coach Jo Holden reports that the squad were full of confidence and eager to go against Herts this Sunday following Tuesday evening’s squad training session. “There is a huge buzz from last Sunday in the squad, we as leaders will manage that this week ,but our girls are keen to go again.
“There are a couple of enforced changes but I have confidence in the squad as whole to do their job and play to the patterns we have set out. We play for each other.”
