The SkyCity Hamilton Waikato Women travel to Pukekohe this week as they get set to take on Counties Manukau in their final match of the 2019 Farah Palmer Cup.
Head coach, Wayne Maxwell, has made just one change to his starting XV and two changes to the bench. After an impressive debut from the bench last week; Kiriana Nolan, has been named to start at second five eight trading places with Ryleigh Hayes who moves to the reserves.
In the reserves Jade Coates returns to the match day 22 and has been named in the number 19 jersey and there is a potential Waikato debut for Hamilton Old Boys player Hope Fraser.
Awhina Tangen-Wainohu will celebrate her 10th match for the province and will be rewarded with her Waikato Bell.
