The game between New Zealand and USA promises to be a thriller due to the historic nature of the occasion.
The match comes at the end of a one-off triple-header at Soldier Field in Chicago (Italy play Ireland, and the NZ Maori play the USA in the men’s games first). The Black Ferns are up against a USA side with a new head coach, who haven’t played a test game since the World Cup.
Women's Player of the Year nominee Fiao'o Faamausili will lead the side that has three new players included with backs Ayesha Leti-I'iga (Wellington), Kilisitina Moata'ane (Otago) and Natahlia Moors (Auckland) were called up after strong Farah Palmer Cup seasons.
The USA, coached by former Saracens coach Rob Cain, are starting a tour where they will also play England and Ireland.
Cain has named 34 named players, with nine return from the last World Cup, while a whopping 21 players are uncapped.
