England Women’s Head Coach Gary Street has made quite a few changes for tomorrow’s Autumn International clash against Canada at the Twickenham Stoop, kick-off 7pm.

After Saturday’s impressive 40-20 defeat of France at Twickenham Stadium, Street has chosen to rotate his squad significantly.

“Saturday was a hard and physical game against France so we have freshened up our starting line-up with some very experienced players who were on the bench at the weekend,” said Street.

“Against France we executed our game plan well, and we took our opportunities. We played with intent and put on the kind of game we wanted to in front of a big crowd at Twickenham, and we want to do more of the same on Wednesday.

“This time around, however, we must put in an 80-minute performance as that is not something we did on Saturday.”

Tickets for England’s clash against Canada are still available via www.ticketmaster.co.uk (0844 847 2492) and www.quins.co.uk (0208 410 6000). Tickets are priced £10 for adults and £5 for under 16s.

But don’t worry if you can’t make it down to the pitch, you can also watch the match live on www.rfu.com/englandwomenlive or listen on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra.
