DMP Sharks have named their 23 player squad for tomorrow’s Allianz Premier 15s fixture against Wasps at the Darlington Arena. The Sharks side includes 6 changes from the starting 15 from last weekend’s Round 10 trip to Exeter.

It’s all change in the Sharks front row as Sam Herrick, Kathryn Treder and Meg Gardner all come in to start. Jess Wiesheu returns in the second row to join Kate Smith, with co-captain Trudy Cowan shifting to 6. Rachel Ehrecke and Jaz Hazell complete the Sharks pack.

A reshuffle in the back line sees Kenny-Thomas Roberts revert to fullback, with Dani Phan shifting to outside centre alongside Linzi Taylor. Kat Craine continues on the right wing, while Evie Tonkin starts on the opposite flank on her return to the North East. Meya Bizer retains her place at fly half, while Chloe Broom comes in to start at 9.

There’s a 5-3 split on the bench for Sharks, with Haynes, Colvin, Brewster, Churm and Brankin providing options in the forward pack. Olivia Ortiz and Kaz Kacirkova cover the backline along with Olivia Howarth who’s in line for her AP15s debut.
