New Zealand sevens stars Portia Woodman and Sarah Goss will line up for the Black Ferns when they take on the Wallaroos at Eden Park.
The pair were slotted straight back into the team after their silver medal-winning performance in Rio, as the Black Ferns look to extend their winning streak over Australia to 14 Tests.
New Zealand has named two potential debutants in the clash, with Aotearoa Mata’u and Kristina Sue named on the bench for Saturday's match.
Loosehead prop Pip Love faces a race against time to be fit for the clash, with Tokau Natua in line to replace Love if she doesn't pull up in time.
Black Ferns coach Glenn Moore said they would be wary of a Wallaroos outfit with a host of new faces.
"The team we’ve selected brings a mix of experience, youth and debutants. The team’s come into camp determined to work hard and although they had only a short time to prepare they have quickly gelled as a unit," he said.
“Trans-Tasman Test matches always bring an extra edge of competition and intensity. The Wallaroos are a bit of an unknown to us at this stage. What we do know is they will be just as determined as we are to get the win.”
“We’re excited to play at Eden Park in front of family, friends and fans. It’s going to be a great night.”
The Black Ferns host the Wallaroos at Eden Park, kicking off at 3:05pm AEDT, live on FOX SPORTS and online through http://www.abc.net.au/grandstand.
