The Sharks make 4 changes for tomorrow's game against league leaders Saracens (2pm Kick Off).

Justin Loveridge has named his 22 player squad for tomorrow's game at the Northern Echo Arena. The game against Saracens will be the Sharks' final home game of the Premier 15s season as they look to record their first win in 2018. There are 2 changes in the front row, as Lisa Cockburn makes her first start of the season in place of Lauren Rigby, and Elle Bloor returns to start at hooker. Charlie Lewis retains her position at tighthead to complete the front row. Sarah Bush replaces Tamara Taylor who is away on international duty to partner Jas Bell in the second row, while the back row of Hobson, Brown and Manson remains unchanged.

The only personnel change in the backs sees Rosie Blount come into the squad, as Katy Daley-McLean is away with England. Blount starts on the wing opposite Kenny Thomas, while Claudia Macdonald will be hoping to continue her try scoring run from full back. Hannah Morton shifts into the centres to join Rachel Woosey, with Georgia Roberts moving to scrum half inside La Toya Mason at 10.

On the bench, there is a welcome return for club captain Ruth Nash, along with Emily Hunter and Caitlin Sedgeworth. Elsewhere Needham, Rigby, Keirl and Taylor all retain their places in the squad.
