England Women U20 coach Jo Yapp has announced the match day 23 to face Canada on Friday 10 August at Acadia University, Wolfville.
The match is available live online via Rugby Canada with kick off at 10.30pm BST in the first of a three-game tour for England Women U20.
Bristol Ladies outside centre Phoebe Murray captains the side for the first time, having previously captained England U18 Sevens, while Harlequins fly half Ellie Green and Trojans centre Bethany Wilcock will both be looking to come off the bench for their first England game.
Red Roses’ Lagi Tuima, Abigail Dow and Zoe Harrison, who all appeared during the 2018 Six Nations and have five international caps each, lend their experience to the starting 15.
Due to injury (ankle), Tabitha Copson has been replaced in the squad by Darlington Mowden Park Sharks forward Rianna Manson, who is named on the bench.
Yapp said: “We arrived in Canada on Monday and the squad have recovered well, acclimatising to the humidity and warm temperatures.
“This is a really exciting team with a mix of experienced players alongside some talented youngsters that are stepping up from the TDG for the first time.
“We are really pleased with how the players have bonded as a squad in such a short space of time and adapted to the tour environment.
“Having watched Canada and USA play this week in the first game the players are really excited about the challenge that the next few weeks will bring and cannot wait to get out and play Canada in the first test.”
Canada U20 overcame USA U20 on Tuesday, winning 36-12 with four tries from captain Sophie de Goede.
England Women U20 last played Canada Women U20 in a three-Test series at Trent College, Nottingham in 2016 with England winning the series 3-0. The side last played USA Women U20 in the 2013 Nations Cup, losing 17-27 again at Trent College, Nottingham.
