Mitchell has made 13 changes from the team that defeated Italy in the opening round of the Guinness Women’s Six Nations.
Captain Zoe Aldcroft (Gloucester-Hartpury) and Exeter Chiefs Number 8 Maddie Feaunati maintain their starting roles and Loughborough Lightning’s Sadia Kabeya is promoted to the seven jersey.
Bristol Bears duo Lark Atkin-Davies and Sarah Bern come into the front row alongside Gloucester-Hartpury prop Mackenzie Carson. Abbie Ward lines up with Sale Sharks’ Morwenna Talling in the second row.
Gloucester-Hartpury’s Tatyana Heard and Megan Jones of Leicester Tigers form a centre partnership with Natasha Hunt (Gloucester-Hartpury) and Zoe Harrison (Saracens) making up the half-back positions.
Ellie Kildunne will earn her 50th Test cap, whilst Olympian Abi Burton is set for a Red Roses debut should she feature from the bench.
