\nBlack Ferns team named for season opening Test against Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Black Ferns team to open their 2016 international season against Australia has been named, as they prepare for a tantalising trans-Tasman battle ahead of the Bledisloe Cup Test match at Eden Park this Saturday.<\/p>\n

\"200px-blackferns\"The team is: (new caps denoted by *)<\/strong>
\n1. Pip Love
\n2. Fiao\u2019o Fa\u2019amausili (c)
\n3. Aleisha Nelson
\n4. Eloise Blackwell
\n5. Charmaine Smith
\n6. Rawinia Everitt
\n7. Sarah Goss
\n8. Aroha Savage
\n9. Kendra Cocksedge
\n10. Victoria Subritzky-Nafatali
\n11. Renee Wickliffe
\n12. Chelsea Alley
\n13. Portia Woodman
\n14. Honey Hireme
\n15. Selica Winiata<\/p>\n

Reserves<\/strong>
\n16. Te Kura Ngata-Aerengamate
\n17. Toka Natua (Aldora Itunu)
\n18. Aotearoa Mata\u2019u*
\n19. Charlene Gubb
\n20. Charmaine McMenamin
\n21. Kristina Sue*
\n22. Kelly Brazier
\n23. Janna Vaughan<\/p>\n

Head Coach Glenn Moore said: \u201cThe team we\u2019ve selected brings a mix of experience, youth and debutants. The team\u2019s come into camp determined to work hard and although they had only a short time to prepare they have quickly gelled as a unit.<\/p>\n

Aldora Itunu has been bracketed alongside Toka Natua who will start at prop if Pip Love fails to come through a fitness test later this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrans-Tasman Test matches always bring an extra edge of competition and intensity. The Wallaroos are a bit of an unknown to us at this stage. What we do know is they will be just as determined as we are to get the win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moore said the match in front of a home crowd would be extra special for the Black Ferns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to play at Eden Park in front of family, friends and fans. It\u2019s going to be a great night.\u201d<\/p>\n
