Sevens superstar Maddison Levi is set to make her Wallaroos debut off the bench, named to face New Zealand on Saturday in Auckland.
Levi is one of several fresh faces from the opening O'Reilly Cup match, including fellow SVNS World Champions Tia Hinds, Alysia Lefau-Fakaosilea and Bienne Terita.

Australia's all-time leading try-scorer will likely finish the game, with winger Desiree Miller cleared of a calf injury to start.
“We arrived in Auckland late last week to really soak up the atmosphere and acclimatise to the conditions. The coaching team led by Mike Ruthven, Duncan Chubb, Ben Mowen and Reg Tayler have been installing the technical content and physically preparing the team for an historic occasion," Director of Women's High Performance Tim Walsh said.
Lefau-Fakaosilea starts at outside centre for her first appearance in the 15-a-side game since 2019. She partners Cecilia Smith in the midfield, who brings up 30 caps.
Meanwhile, Hinds links up with Waratahs teammate Waiaria Ellis in the halves, named at scrumhalf.
The forward pack remains consistent from April's opener, with Piper Duck the lone change at number eight.
The shuffle sees skipper Siokapesi Palu move back to blindside flanker and Kaitlan Leaney into the second row.
On the bench, former Black Ferns Pia Tapsell is set to become a dual-international, named for a potential Wallaroos debut.
Tapsell would become the first woman to play for both New Zealand and Australia, having represented the Black Ferns on six occasions.
Further changes on the bench include the international return of Force teammate Allana Sikimeti, while Emily Chancellor and Samantha Wood add experience.
"To be part of the 100th Wallaroos Test is special, and the players are honoured to be part of the milestone and to play for all those who have worn the jersey before them," Walsh added.
“Two massive occasions for our debutants in Pia Tapsell and Maddison Levi. Pia’s last Test match was playing for the Black Ferns and Maddison a superstar in the Sevens format and coming off World Championship winning matches against the Black Ferns Sevens.”
