With the Women’s Six Nations starting this weekend, the Allianz Cup returns starting Wasps have a road trip north to face DMP Durham Sharks for round three.
In the Cup so far, Wasps have already faced Harlequins Women and Bristol Bears Women back in November 2021 suffering defeats to both teams. However, having already beat DMP Durham Sharks twice this season in the Premiership, Wasps are confident in a successful trip North.
Despite five Wasps players selected across England and Ireland, there is plenty of depth in the Wasps squad leaving acting Head Coach Ollie Bishop with a fiery team to restart the cup.
Elizabeth Crake is back in a starting shirt heading up the front row with Cliodhna Moloney at Hooker and Morgan Ransley moving off the bench to start as prop. Melanie Combebias and Christiana Balogun form the second row with Kay Searcy, Helene Caux and Rowena Burnfield completing the pack.
Sammy Wong will start at nine with returning Wasps player Lizzie Goulden slotting into fly half. Flo Williams and Jess Cooksey take centre stage and another returnee, Suzie Flowers, rejoins the back line alongside Emily Stone and Rosie Wright.
A wealth of experience on the bench in Claire Molloy, Harriet Millar-Mills and Kanyinsola Adefemiwa Afilaka. And completing the match day squad Stevie Farrow and Alex Wilkinson are set to add energy to the finish.
Kick off is at 4:30pm and all match action can be followed LIVE on twitter.
