England have made nine personnel changes to their side to play New Zealand on Tuesday night from the side that won 16-13 in the first test.
The game, at Aldershot Army Rugby Stadium on Tuesday night, is captained by Sarah Hunter(pictured)with regular skipper Katy McLean rested on the bench.
Only Emily Scarratt, Michaela Staniford, Alice Richardson, Natasha Hunt and Sarah Hunter start a second successive game.
Tuesdays clash will also see the Matthews sisters of Fran and Alex start their first ever XVs international match with Fran starting on the wing and her younger sister Alex being given the nod in the backrow after a good display off the bench.
Wasps scrum-half La Toya Mason has been called into the squad after an injury to scrumhalf Georgina Gulliver.
With three games in eight days the key is to keep our players fresh as these matches are going to take their toll both physically and mentally, said Street. This is still a strong England squad with over 380 caps in the starting line-up and one that I believe can build on our opening win of the series.
