Red Roses make four changes to starting XV for Canada Test

England Red Roses head coach John Mitchell has made four changes to the starting line-up to face Canada in the WXV Global Series in Toronto. Experienced hooker Amy Cokayne, centre Tatyana Heard, loosehead prop Hannah Botterman, and back-row Abi Burton all enter the starting XV. The match will be played in front of a record North American crowd for a standalone women's rugby game.

Helena Rowland, Bryony Field, and Mackenzie Carson move to the replacements bench, joined by Sadia Kabeya following a leg injury and 20-year-old Bristol Bears forward Demelza Short. Marlie Packer is absent from the tour ahead of partner Rosie Galligan giving birth. The fixture comes after England drew 26-26 with Canada in Exeter last month.
