Maddie Feaunati has been recalled to start at No 8 for England in their match against New Zealand at Allianz Stadium this weekend. Bryony Field will make her second international start at hooker.
New Zealand are considered England's closest challengers in the world rankings. The Black Ferns were the last team to defeat England, in the 2022 Rugby World Cup final.
England's 39-match winning streak was ended last weekend by a 26-26 draw against Canada. Despite this, England has not lost on home soil for a decade, with their last home defeat being against New Zealand in November 2016.
Head coach John Mitchell has maintained an unchanged backline from the Canada draw. New Zealand, who defeated Scotland 66-14 last week, are currently on a seven-match winning run this year.
