Evans approaches 50

Georgia Evans keeps her place in an unchanged pack after the 50-19 win over South Africa. The lock is set to earn her 50th cap. Alex Callender and Kate Williams remain co-captains.

Bevan back at scrum-half

Keira Bevan partners George, with Seren Lockwood unavailable following a head injury assessment. The WRU expects Lockwood to be available for the two Tests in Japan. Cox returns from injury.
