Wales head coach Sean Lynn has made five starting changes for Saturday's second WXV Test against Japan at Kumagaya Rugby Stadium.
Flanker Bethan Lewis earns her first start of the campaign after impressing off the bench in last weekend's 17-0 victory in Tokyo. Co-captain Alex Callender shifts to number eight, while Gwen Crabb and Gwenllian Pyrs are promoted from the bench to the pack. Lleucu George replaces Keira Bevan at fly-half, partnering Seren Lockwood, who scored two tries in the opening Test.
Courtney Keight comes in at centre for Freya Bell, who faces a lengthy lay-off due to a serious knee injury sustained in the first Test. Lynn has again selected a six-forward, two-back bench split.
"We have made the changes to reward the players who finished the job in Tokyo," Lynn said. Wales, now ranked 11th in the world after overtaking Japan with last week's win, aim to finish their WXV campaign on a high. They have previously beaten Japan and South Africa and narrowly lost to the USA.
The match kicks off at 07:00 GMT on Saturday, 31 October, at Kumagaya Rugby Stadium in Saitama Prefecture. Referee Julianne Zussman (Canada) will officiate.
