Jane Ross retains her place having returned to the squad for the first time since April 2022 last month after a long-term injury and there is a second appearance in the squad for forward Sarah Ewens, who will be looking to earn her first senior cap with injury ruling her out of doing so when she last appeared in the camp at the end of last season.
