England interim head coach Louis Deacon says his successor John Mitchell has been involved in picking the Red Roses side to face Canada in WXV1.
Mitchell has joined up with the England women's set-up in New Zealand but is yet to take full control."He is still working out people and understanding where we are as a group, but he has been involved in a lot of things. He is a massively experienced coach and we have really valued his input this week.
Mackenzie Carson, Sarah Bern and Lark Atkin-Davies make up a new front row against Canada, while Cath O'Donnell and Morwenna Talling are also in the forwards. "When you have a squad of 30 players and you come to the other side of the world you have to have players that are adaptable."Like England, the North American side won their opening WXV1 game with a 42-22 victory over Wales and Deacon expects them to pose a greater challenge in Dunedin."They will be very different to the pre-season fixtures. We are in a tournament now and they will pose a lot of threats to us.
