Mills Albert Wellington Pride side named for Otago Clash
After a well fought win against North Harbour Hibiscus, the Mills Albert Wellington Pride are ready to go back-to-back this weekend.
Wellington Pride Head Coach Fusi Feaunati has named his 23 to take on Otago Spirit down at Forsyth Barr this Saturday.
Angelica Schwencke returns to the starting lineup this week, with Lavinia Lea providing impact off the bench. Fanua Rimoni also returns to start at loose forward.
Joanah Ngan-Woo comes back from injury and looks set to run out for her 100th first class match. Ngan-Woo joins Skipper Jackie Patea-Fereti and becomes the second in the team to hit this significant milestone.
Not many changes to the back line this week, with the exception of Vice-Captain Fa’asua Makisi starting in the midfield, moving Drenna Falaniko to the wing.
Petone’s Madison Gold looks set to make her debut off the bench, after an impressive showing in the Pride Development squad this season.
