Fly half Leung, flanker Williams and second row Stokes were part of Wales’s recent Six Nations campaign. Williams will lead out the Welsh side against the arch enemy while Leung will be the vice-captain in a side with 10 new caps at this level.
Wales head coach Liza Burgess and assistant Rhys Edwards have selected a squad which has a mix of experience and youth. With five uncapped players on the bench, there is a distinct possibility that by the time the game is completed, 15 new players have represented their country.
With Burgess and Edwards also in charge of the international seniorteam, the players are fully aware they have a chance to catch the eye as this is the first opportunity they have with the next World Cup in mind.
The Welsh squad have trained hard over the last four weeks but realize theyhave a formidable challenge in front of them as England have already brushed aside Scotland and England this season.
