Brumbies Womens stars Georgia O’Neill and Shellie Milward have retained their starting jumpers after being named in the Buildcorp Wallaroos side to face New Zealand at Eden Park.O’Neill made her debut in the first test alongside Milward with both Brumbies doing enough to get a second crack at the Blackferns.

There’s only one change made to the starting XV that lost in Sydney last week with the return of centre, Sarah Riordan from injury.

Riordan was ruled out of the first Test after a freak ankle injury at training prevented her from playing in the first leg of the two Test Series.

Head Coach, Dwayne Nestor has backed the squad he picked for the first Test after a week of training at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra.

Buildcorp Wallaroos Head Coach, Dwayne Nestor said: “We’re really looking forward to this second Test and we know that the Black Ferns are going to lift at home.

“We had a good review of the opportunities we didn’t take out there last week and we know we can improve on our performance.

“Sarah’s return from injury has been well received by the squad, she’s a popular, talented player and will combine well with Atasi Lafai and Samantha Treherne.”

Australia takes on New Zealand in the second double header in two weeks at Auckland’s Eden Park with the match to be shown LIVE on FOX SPORTS from 3pm AEST.
