Teams Named for Women's RLWC2017 ROUND 2

Canada and Papua New Guinea have rung the changes for their vital Round 2 Rugby League Women's World Cup clash at Southern Cross Group Stadium on Sunday.

The match, which is likely to decide which of the World Cup newcomers advances to the semi-finals of the tournament, will be the final game of the triple-header featuring clashes between traditional rivals Australia and England and New Zealand against Cook Islands.

PNG Orchids coach Dennis Miall has made four changes to his starting line-up from the opening round, with Helen Abau named at fullback, Christine Bulhage in the centres, Martha Karl on the wing and Janet Michael at lock.

Canada Ravens coach Mike Castle has reshuffled his backline, with Irene Patrinos to start at fullback and Nina Bui moving to the wing, while Janai Haupapa has been named in the centres and Kelcey Leavitt on the wing.

The Ravens will also have a new starting hooker in Christina Burnham, while Elizabeth Steele was named at prop.

England coach Chris Chapman has made two changes to the side which beat the Orchids on Thursday night, with Faye Gaskin to start at five-eighth and Sarah Dunn named on the bench.

His Cook Islands Moana counterpart, Ian Bourke, has selected five new faces from the team which lost to Australia first up, with Crystal Tamarua, Danielle Apaiana and Katelyn Arona forming a new look backrow, while Cecelia Strickland will start in the centres and Kiritapu Demant at five-eighth.
