Hannah Dallavalle has been called into the starting XV for Wales' Women's Six Nations clash against France at Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday.
Dallavalle, 29, had initially been named on the bench, but comes in for Carys Cox who was a late withdrawal with injury.
Former Wales Under-20s captain Jenna de Vera could make her senior debut as a substitute after being added to the Wales 23.
Wales are seeking a first win over France in 10 years.
Sean Lynn's side are on a six-match losing run in the Six Nations and have only won one of 11 Tests under him.
