Wales head coach Sean Lynn has named his Wales side to face Australia in the second Test at North Sydney Oval, Sydney, New South Wales on Friday, August 1 (KO: 10am BST).
Wales have made seven changes to the side that recorded a historic 21-12 victory over the Wallaroos in Brisbane last Saturday.
Number 8 Alex Callender and flanker Kate Williams will co-captain the side for the first time against the Wallaroos while wing Jasmine Joyce, who is the only rugby player to play for GB Sevens at three Olympics, will win her 50th Wales cap in Sydney.
Nel Metcalfe, who was Player of the Match and crossed for two tries in the win over Australia last weekend, is at full-back, and Lisa Neumann is named on the other wing.
Courtney Keight is at centre with Carys Cox, who makes her first start on tour, in the Wales midfield. Kayleigh Powell is at fly half and partners Keira Bevan at half back.
Wales select an all-new front row with prop Gwenllian Pyrs and experienced hooker Carys Phillips, both starting their first game in Australia. Sisilia Tuipulotu makes her first start for her country since WXV2 in South Africa.
Lock Abbie Fleming joins Gwen Crabb in the Wales engine room, while Callender and Williams are joined by flanker Bethan Lewis in the bac row.
Lynn, said: “We have celebrated our historic win in Brisbane, but we went back to work on Monday with the second Test in Sydney our focus.
“We know we will face a wounded Wallaroos side determined to make a statement in front of their home crowd in Sydney.
“The squad were told before we came out that every player will get game time here in Australia and that is why we have made seven changes to the starting line-up.
“The seven players selected have been told to be brave and to build on what we achieved in Brisbane and stake a claim for World Cup places.
“Jaz winning her 50th Wales cap is another significant milestone for a player who has been a trailblazer for the women’s game, and we all know how much it will mean to her and her family.”
