Wales know they are in for a tough afternoon and have opted for experience in their pack.

Nineteen-year-olds Maisie Davies and Alaw Pyrs, who made their first starts against Scotland, make way for Gwenllian Pyrs and Gwen Crabb.

For Sale Sharks loose-head Pyrs, Scotland was a first outing since surgery in November, which included a disc replacement and disc fusion.

Other than that it is as you were for Sean Lynn's side.

There were some question marks earlier in the week over the availability of Georgia Evans after the number eight was sent off in Edinburgh for two yellow card offences.

But a disciplinary panel deemed the red card "sufficient" punishment with "no further sanction" needed.

It might be quicker to just name the England players that have retained their place rather than the new faces coming in.

Mitchell has made no less than 13 changes to the starting XV.

Among them in the return of world player of the year Ellie Kildunne who will run out in Cardiff for her 50th cap.

She is joined in the backline by Abby Dow and Jess Breach, who between them scored a combined 18 tries in last year's championship.

Cardiff-born Welsh speaker Meg Jones starts in the centre while Olympian Abi Burton is set to make her debut from the bench.

Aldcroft and number eight Maddie Feaunati are the two players who keep their shirts.

Former England captain Marlie Packer is absent from the matchday squad,

Wales head coach Sean Lynn: Defensively we have to be on point, mistakes are going to happen but it's that fight I want to see from the girls.

When you're growing up it's all about Wales v England, and playing in the Principality with a record crowd it's something we are really proud of.

We're so excited and it's what these girls deserve, playing at the Principality and having 18,000. I'm hoping we're going to get to the 20,000 mark.

We've set out some small challenges for us, what we want to be getting out of it, I just want to make sure that we can put England in a tough place and see how they react. Sport is about pressure.

England flanker Sadia Kabeya: While it is an away game, there's no added pressure for us. We know it's going to be loud which just means we need to be even louder, it's more of a reason for us to go out there and perform.

Going into any game we always try and focus on ourselves and see what we can do to improve our game.

For us, it's about being squeaky clean and aggressive around our breakdown, but still be able to play fast.

BBC Radio Wales commentator Gareth Rhys Owen: Sport's ultimate beauty is its ability to surprise us. And it's in this context that any prediction ahead of this encounter must be framed. Theresa May was the Prime Minister when England last lost a Six Nations match and all indicators suggest they should win comfortably on Saturday.

Such is the depth of John Mitchell's squad that he has the luxury of making 13 changes to a side who put 40 points on Italy, although most would suggest that this starting XV is an upgrade.

Wales will look for the emotional pull of playing in front of a record-breaking crowd at the Principality Stadium and there was plenty of evidence of progress in their defeat in Edinburgh last weekend.
