Team news: Bristol Bears Women vs Firwood Waterloo Women
Thursday, January 16th 2020
Kim Oliver makes two changes to her side that will travel to Twyford Avenue to take on Wasps Ladies tomorrow afternoon (1:30pm).
- Marlo Boyd starts in the engine room
- Merryn Doidge comes in on the right wing
- Reed and Murray continue centre partnership
Marlo Boyd comes into the starting line-up for Saturday trip to the capital in place of Ebony Jefferies. Boyd is the only change to the pack with the front and back rows remaining the same.
The only other change to the starting fifteen is Merryn Doidge starting on the right wing in place of Lucy Burgess.
Charlotte Wright-Haley and Kim Grundy also comes in to the matchday squad and will look to make an impact if introduced on Saturday.
Word from the camp: Kim Oliver
“All in all it seems to be coming together but we know it will be a different game this weekend against Wasps, who have great line speed so that’ll paint a different picture for the backline and we’re looking forward to that challenge.
“It’s always a tough away trip to go and face Wasps. They came to us earlier on in the season and they managed to beat us and we weren’t at our best, so we’ve got a point to prove on Saturday.”
