Coach Luisa Avaiki has shuffled her line-up for the Warriors’ second-round NRL women’s premiership match against St George Illawarra at ANZ Stadium tonight (5.05pm kick-off local time, 7.05pm NZT).
Langi Veainu moves from the wing to join Sarina Clark in the centres while Lisa Edwards comes in on the wing for her debut in the competition.
There’s also a swap at loose forward, Luisa Gago moving to the bench and Sui Tauasa-Pauaraisa starting in the back row.
After missing the opening round win over the Sydney Roosters, Amber Kani and Raquel Anderson have been included on the bench for their debuts along with Crystal Tamarua in the front row.
