Team selection news

Forwards
The Front row is unchanged from Barnsley away. Samara Tomlinson returns to the second row and the back row benefits from a re-shuffle with Emma Rowlinson returning after missing out last game and Amy Orrow back to number 8 after filling in the backline last time out.

Backs
Half-backs unchanged, and a backline change sees Lauren Harkness move out to the centres. Sophie Little returns to the left wing after missing out vs Barnsley.

A big bench!!
Gemma Charlton, Eve Joseph and Liz Stoker all in line for league debuts, and Tamar Benson and Emma Grunnill return to the match day squad for the first time this season.

Coach James Mackereth:

"It's been a long time since the last time we played Sefton, the first game of last season in fact, and we aren't expecting anything other than a tough game, they're a good side and will want to come here and throw the whole kitchen at us. We've got a huge squad available for Sunday, a good mix of old and new, with some great impact available off the bench too. Last time out at Barnsley was a real challenge, they really threw it at us but we stuck it out and everyone took something positive away. We've gone back to the training pitch, had a good look at things and tried to put a few things in place to move forward. The team is a little bit different to last time out. Rowley and Amy Orrow moving in to the pack gives us different options in the forwards, and Lauren moving in to the midfield makes us very direct. I'm looking forward to us having options off the bench, and I'm looking forward to seeing Eve Joseph and Gemma Charlton have a run on for their first outings in the wasps jumper, exciting players both. We're still a young team, but we're moving in the right direction and are learning along the way. Fingers crossed for a fine day and a game to match, I'm as enthused as ever and can't wait for it."
