Wales have made four changes for the game against Australia in the Women’s Rugby World Cup play-off for seventh and eighth place.
Prop Megan York ruled out due to concussion suffered during the
and is replaced by Catrin Edwards.
Centre Rebecca de Filippo has been suspended for two weeks after committing a tip tackle against the Kiwis with Elen Evans coming in at outside centre and Robyn Wilkins switching to inside centre.
Lowri Harries replaces Carys Phillips at hooker while Amy Day returns to scrum half in place of Sian Moore.
Wales will be looking to avenge a
in the pool stages.
Head coach Rhys Edwards is hoping his side can bounce back from the heavy defeat to New Zealand on and finish off in style.
“The potential is that we could finish seventh which would be a huge achievement,” Edwards said.
“There is no reason why we can’t beat Australia and that is the incentive we have got as a group.
“We were really disappointed not to get the result against them first time round and we have learnt a lot since then. It’s time to show how far we have come.”
