The matchday squad for Saturday's Premiership Women's Rugby home game against Gloucester-Hartpury has been named.
Julia Omokhuale returns to the starting side for the first of two games at Mattioli Woods Welford Road on the 1st of February with the men's side in action against Northampton Saints afterwards in the Premiership Rugby Cup.
Amongst the replacements, Nadine Vincent and Morgan Richardson return to the matchday squad.
Speaking ahead of the game, Head Coach Tom Hudson said: "Tests don't come much tougher than Gloucester-Hartpury which presents an opportunity to show we can be competitive with the best."
"We are looking forward to another great crowd as part of the Double Header. Last week's crowd was the best crowd we have had in the two years as part of PWR and we are so grateful for all who braved the cold and looking forward to seeing them and many more fans back again on Saturday."
