Team news: Sale Sharks Women vs Saracens Women
Kelsey Clifford will make her first Allianz Premier 15s start when Saracens Women take on Sale Sharks Women at Heywood Road on Saturday.
The young prop came off the bench in the season opener against Worcester Warriors Women for her senior debut and starts at tighthead in a front row that contains try scorers from last time out Rocky Clark and May Campbell.
England international Marlie Packer returns to the back row whilst the rest of the pack is unchanged from last weekend.
Wales scrum-half Jade Knight earns her start of the campaign as does full-back Chantelle Miell. The latter’s inclusion sees captain Lotte Clapp switch to the wing with Sydney Gregson moving to outside centre.
On the bench, Richmond loanee Laura Kapo is in line for her first Sarries outing while Eloise Hayward and Debroah Fleming also feature.
