Mitchell is missing a host of names from his run to the world title, with usual skipper Zoe Stratford and Abbie Ward both pregnant and Emily Scarratt and Abby Dow having retired from playing. Bristol wing Millie David, who finished joint top of the Premiership Women's Rugby (PWR) try-scoring charts last season and is the highest-ranked English-qualified back in those standings this campaign, is one of those in the squad awaiting their first cap. Gloucester-Hartpury's Mia Venner and Loughborough Lightning's Bo Westcombe-Evans, both with two previous appearances for England, are other inexperienced wing options. With Rosie Galligan absent after suffering a shoulder injury at the end of last year, Cath O'Donnell missing for personal reasons and Stratford and Ward unavailable, Mitchell has promoted Bristol duo Demelza Short and Christiana Balogun, both of whom also can play in the back row, and Saracens' Jodie Vergh
