The Black Ferns have made one change to their 23-strong squad for the second test against France in Grenoble on Sunday morning (NZT).
Coach Glenn Moore has opted for the same starting 15 that beat France 14-0 in the first test at Toulon, with his lone change happening on the bench, where debutant Natahlia Moors replaces loose forward Marcelle Parkes.
The line-up sees a more traditional five forwards and three backs named for the bench, a shift from the six forwards and two backs named last week.
Coach Moore said he was proud of the way the players rose to the challenge in the first test against France last week.
"We expected the French to come out firing and they did just that. This weekend, we're expecting that level of intensity to ramp up a notch.
"The players have recovered well and we've been upping the intensity all week in preparation. Having an extra day up our sleeves has given us more time to further refine our game plans and manage a couple of minor injuries.
"Every time this team pulls on a black jersey, they want to put out their best performance and this Saturday will be no exception.
"This will be their last test match for 2018 and we all want to finish on a high. It's going to be high intensity and we will need to retain our composure."
The full Black Ferns squad to face France is:
1-Phillipa Love, 2-Fiao'o Faamausili (c), 3-Aldora Itunu, 4-Eloise Blackwell, 5-Charmaine Smith, 6-Charmaine McMenamin, 7-Les Elder, 8-Aroha Savage, 9-Kendra Cocksedge, 10- Krysten Cottrell, 11- Ayesha Leti-I'iga, 12- Ruahei Demant, 13-Stacey Waaka, 14-Renee Wickliffe, 15-Selica Winiata
