Wales Women welcome back some familiar faces for this Sunday’s double-header against Italy at Principality Stadium (11:45).
Scarlets Ladies and Olympian winger Jaz Joyce is involved for the first time this year having been involved in sevens preparations for next month’s Commonwealth Games in Australia.
Elsewhere, Jess Kavanagh-Williams is the only player remaining from the back three which turned out against Ireland in Dublin a fortnight ago, with Hannah Jones starting at fullback and Joyce on the right wing.
With an unchanged pack, the only other change in the team sees Robyn Wilkins brought in at inside centre, as Wales seek a second win in this year’s competition.
