Singapore National Women's Team Head Coach, Danny Tauroa, named his team for the the first of two tests against the visiting Hong Kong side yesterday.

The two-test series will mark both countries' return to the XV game in 2012 after the Asian 7s international season. Singapore last played in June when it won the Asian Women's XV Championships Div II in Manila and Hong Kong last took the field for 15s in July when it emerged 3rd in the Asian Four Nations in China.

Hong Kong is ostensibly conditioned having had their players off the back of two months of the Hong Kong women's XV league but international test matches are hard to come by in this region and the tests present Tauroa with opportunity to blood some new players as well as provide some younger players with valuable exposure. Eleven of the players have under 4 caps each and C Lim, Goh, Syazwani and Palanisamy may potentially be earning their first caps if they take to the field tomorrow.



Singapore v Hong Kong will kick off at 7.30pm at Yio Chu Kang Stadium tomorrow.
