The Black Ferns retained the trophy with a 52-5 victory in Christchurch, maintaining their unbeaten run against the Wallaroos.

Wallaroos coach Jay Tregonning has made a number of changes, handing Sevens young gun Bienne Terita and Siokapesi Palu their debuts in the backline.

Meanwhile, Grace Hamilton and Liz Patu have earned recalls after they were left out of the opening Test.

They face a Kiwi side eager to continue their winning ways, with Grace Steinmetz named to start at fullback on Saturday.

Ariana Bayler steps into the starting side at scrumhalf as the defending world champions continue their build towards a home World Cup.

This will be followed by the Wallabies taking on the Springboks, with both teams desperate for victory.

The Wallabies were thumped by Argentina in San Juan, receiving a timely boost with Allan Alaalatoa, Folau Fainga'a and Noah Lolesio named to start.

Andrew Kellaway will also make his return from the bench as they look to bounce back.

Meanwhile, the Springboks were shocked by the All Blacks at Ellis Park following a dominant first Test victory.

Faf de Klerk earns a recall as they hunt for their first win against the hosts in Australia in almost a decade.
