Elsewhere, England are down to a near fourth-choice second row combination, with Lilli Ives Campion, who has suffered a knee injury, becoming the latest lock to be sidelined.<\/p>\n

Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward and Rosie Galligan are all pregnant, while Morwenna Talling has been ruled out of the tournament with a leg injury sustained in the opening-weekend win over Ireland.<\/p>\n

Abi Burton, a back row, and Delaney Burns, who won the most recent of her three previous caps back in 2023, will be paired in the engine room.<\/p>\n

The fly-half shirt changes hands once more with Holly Aitchison back in at 10 in place of rival Zoe Harrison.<\/p>\n

Props MacKenzie Carson and Sarah Bern are promoted off the bench and into the starting line-up along with 113-cap flanker Marlie Packer.<\/p>\n

England: <\/b>Kildunne; David, Jones (capt), Rowland, Moloney-MacDonald; Aitchison, L Packer; Carson, Cokayne, Bern, Burton, Burns, Kabeya, M Packer, Feaunati.<\/p>\n

Replacements:<\/i> Powell, Clifford, Muir, Lutui, Short, Robinson, Harrison, Breach<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
