The NSW Waratahs have named their team to face the Western Force in round two of the Buildcorp Super W.
Coach Campbell Aitken has used his rotation this week with six changes to the starting side who took the field in round one.
One of the key changes sees Grace Hamilton make her first start of the year at Number 8 and will also lead the team out as Captain.
Three Waratahs are set to make their debut including Ella Koster, who at 16 years 7 months and 13 days will become the youngest Waratah ever if she takes the field.
Georgina Tuipulotu is the current record holder, when she made her debut last year as a 17-year-old.
Debutant Tatum Bird will start at scrumhalf while veteran Iliseva Batibasaga will come from the bench.
After showing plenty of promise in the trials, Nicole Nathan will play outside centre in her run-on debut.
Hat-trick hero Mahalia Murphy retains her spot at right wing with sharpshooter Lori Cramer directing from the back.
The Super W fixture will be held after the men’s match, kicking off at 4:15pm. This will be the first time ever Super W will play the later slot.
