Brython Thunder will hoping to repeat last weekend's 33-17 victory over Glasgow Warriors at Parc y Scarlets on Sunday.

Ashley Beck has included eight Wales Six Nations squad members in the hosts line-up.

Stella Orin, Rosie Carr, Cadi-Lois Davies, Robyn Davies, Gwen Crabb, Lucy Isaac, Hannah Bluck and Niamh Terry aim to give new head coach Sean Lynn some headaches ahead of the tournament.

Beck has made one change to his backline from last week's game as Hanna Marshall starts at fly-half ahead of Terry. Up front, Rosie Carr returns at hooker in place of Chloe Grant and Catrin Jones replaces Lucy Isaac in the back row.

"We're looking for a repeat performance to last weekend in a bid to match the three wins we registered in last season's tournament and to finish ahead of Glasgow," said Thunder head coach Beck.

"We realise they will be smarting from their defeat at home and we can take nothing for granted.

"A lot of highly promising young Welsh players have been taken out of their comfort zone throughout this Celtic Challenge, and they will be all the better for it moving forward. Now we want to end on a high to give our fans something to cheer."

Brython Thunder: Hannah Lane; Ellie Tromans, Hannah Bluck, Gabby Healan, Eleanor Hing; Hanna Marshall, Seren Singleton; Stella Orrin, Rosie Carr, Cadi Lois Davies, Robyn Davies, Gwen Crabb, Catrin Jones, Danai Mugabe, Jess Rogers (capt).

Repslacements: Meg Lewis, Lowri Williams, Katie Carr, Anna Stowell, Rhiannon Griffin, Savannah Picton-Powell, Meg Webb, Ffion Davies.
