Valkyries reshuffle Development XV for Loughborough trip

Valkyries have made five changes to their Development XV for Saturday’s Tyrrells Premier 15s Development League match against Loughborough Lightning at Loughborough University (kick-off 3pm).

Josie Symonds, who has returned to action this season after two years out with an ankle injury, starts on the right wing with Vicky Foxwell switching to the centre from fly-half  in place of Megan Varley who scored two tries in last weekend’s draw at Gloucester-Hartpury.

Rebecca Scholes comes into the side at fly-half in the other change to the back division.

In the pack hooker Alicia Watkins, tighthead prop Lauren Leatherland and openside flanker Zoe Bennion side all start.
