Head coach Brendon Webby has named his Bay of Plenty Volcanix side to face Canterbury in Christchurch tomorrow.

It will see the return of Luka Connor from injury into the front row of the forwards with Lily Florence and Stephani Mitchell. The back line remains relatively unchanged except for the introduction of Chanelle Rata Makene.

Hopeful debutant Abbie Johnstone returns from injury to secure a spot on the bench.

This is the Volcanix second Farah Palmer Cup match for 2016 after going down 31-11 to North Harbour in Rotorua last weekend.

The side will be captained by lock Kaci James and the game will kick-off at noon.
