With the Welsh Development having beaten England Students 22-10 last Saturday as well, the coaches have had a hard selection to make but have chosen to stick with a winning formula by announcing the same starting XV.
Outside centre Louise Rickard wins her 60th cap and with her inside partner Rhian Williams winning her 34th cap, Wales have a wealth of experience in the middle of the park.
UWIC’s Naomi Thomas keeps the number 10 jersey in front of increasing competition from Carmarthen Quins Awen Thomas and Wales will be hoping influential No 8 April Dent is fully recovered from the ankle injury that forced her early retirement against Spain.
Admission is £5 for adults and free to U16’s and OAP’s.
