Wales head coach Tom Brindle has made four personnel changes to his squad for Friday's second World Cup game against Samoa at the CommBank Stadium in Sydney (07:45 BST).
Wales, playing at their first World Cup, lost their Group A opener 70-6 against England in Perth.
Wing Sian Williams will make her debut against the Samoans, who were beaten 40-0 by hosts Australia in their opening match.
Zoe Heeley moves to the other wing from centre where captain of the Army rugby union team, Jade Mullen, comes in for her first appearance of the tournament.
Amberley Ruck replaces Ffion Lewis at stand-off, with Huddersfield Giants prop Gracie Hobbs coming into the matchday seventeen.
On paper the game against Samoa is Wales' best chance of picking up a result, before they face reigning world champions Australia, also in Sydney, on Sunday.
