Waratahs coach Campbell Aitken has reshuffled the forward park ahead Saturday's showdown against the Queensland Reds. Wallaroos backrower Emily Chancellor, prop Oneata Schwalger and second rower Noella Green all return to the starting lineup for the Ballymore clash.

The Waratahs women have reshuffled their forward pack for the second week in a row as they prepare for Saturday's mouthwatering Queensland clash.

NSW and Queensland have faced off in every Super W final and the result of Saturday's match shapes as the potential deciding factor in who will finish on top of the Supe rW ladder.

Wallaroos backrower Emily Chancellor, prop Oneata Schwalger and second rower Noella Green all return to the starting lineup for the Ballymore clash.

Waratahs coach Campbell Aitken has stuck with an unchanged backline to take on the electric Reds outfit that racked up over 100 points last weekend.

Promising youngster Piper Duck comes onto the bench for the match as well.

The Waratahs come into the game with wins against the Rebels and Brumbies to their name, as well as a bye week victory over Fijiana, and will be hoping to continue their perfect Super W history in Brisbane on the weekend.

The Waratahs women take on Queensland on Saturday March 7, kicking off at 3pm local, 4pm AEDT, LIVE on RUGBY.com.au
