Raiders second-rower Hollie-Mae Dodd is back in the mix after a try-scoring comeback against Wales in the Autumn international, while Paige Travis has also been given the nod before her shift to the Eels this season.

Tamzin Renouf is one of four York Valkyrie players brought into the fold, with the reigning Woman of Steel Georgie Dagger making her return to the England squad after missing out in the Autumn due to her marriage to York Knights' Will Dagger.

Jodie Cunnigham will lead the charge as captain of the international team in this historic showdown, supported by six of her St Helens comrades - including Shona Hoyle and Amy Hardcastle, who both clashed with Australia back in 2017 alongside Cunnigham.

The Jillaroos have already announced their squad under the helm of new coach Jess Skinner earlier this week.

This women's Test will be the second-last game of a quadruple header, which also includes a Betfred Super League showdown between Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves, as well as two NRL matches - Raiders v Warriors and Panthers v Sharks.
