Orchids: Tahnee Norris has named an unchanged starting side for the promotion-relegation final. Shae De La Cruz has been named to start at fullback failing to finish the match against the Ferns last week after a heavy tackle. A reshuffle of the interchange sees Delailah Ahose and Mala Mark return to the bench while Lilah Malabag and Roswita Kapo move to the reserves. The new replacement player is Talitha Kunjil.

Fetu Samoa: Fullback Evania Pelite has succumbed to her leg issues and has not been named to face the Orchids. Jetaya Faifua, who helped spark Samoa’s comeback against Fiji off the bench last week, will start at fullback. Other changes see Christian Pio set to start at prop with Evah McEwan moving into the second row. Laikha Clarke has not been named, with Jasmine Fogavini promoted from 18th player duties last week onto the bench, alongside Viena Tinao. The 18th player is Ella-Jaye Harrison Leaunoa.

Last updated:

Jillaroos: Just the one change to the squad that downed the Kiwi Ferns in Christchurch with Keeley Davis joining the bench and Jess Sergis dropping to 18th player. Davis came into the squad as injury cover after Quincy Dodd suffered a minor quad injury in the first-up win over the Kumuls. She was 18th player against the Kiwi Ferns and now comes in for her fifth Test match cap. Hooker Olivia Higgins is good to go despite dislocating her wrist in the win over New Zealand. The joint was quickly put back in place and the Knights star has avoided further damage. Co-captain Ali Brigginshaw has been named at halfback for her 25th Test match. Newcastle halfback Jesse Southwell joined the team in camp on Sunday and is listed among the reserves for the final.

Kiwi Ferns: Apii Nicholls slots straight into fullback after she was rested last week against the Orchids, moving Shanice Parker back onto the wing. Annessa Biddle is also back at second row for the final, with Najvada George heading to the bench. Last week’s debutants both make way, with Mackenzie Wiki back into the reserves and Brooke Talataina sidelined by an ankle injury. Angelina Teakaraanga Katoa will start at prop with Alexis Tauaneai going to the bench. Tiana Davison is the new 18th player.
