Returning for their second season with Bath Rugby Women's 7s, Bethanie Wilson, Sofia Mazzone, Mairéad McErlean, Meg Griffiths and Bethan Wakefield are welcomed back into the fold.

Hailing from an athletics background, Wakefield will offer speed and athleticism on the wings. Wilson, who learnt her rugby craft at North Petherton RFC, has transitioned her XV skills into 7s over the past few seasons and will feature in the back row, alongside McErlean. Mazzone featured at scrum-half last season and will take up her position once again.

Bethan Thomas and Kyara Martin are new additions to Crowfoot's team, offering themselves up in the centre and back row respectively.

Kim Thurlow, has also been included but will have her season with Bath Rugby Women cut short as she heads to Wales U20/U23.

Named as guest players for Bath are Nia Grundy, who featured frequently last season and was this year's Top Try Scorer at Bath Rugby Ladies. Trixie Beddoe, a promising young talent who hails from Dorset and Wiltshire County, will also take a guest spot to make her debut.

Bath Rugby Women's will face Sweden in their first fixture of the tournament, followed by Akuma Beavers. The team will then be involved in two knock out matches, playing four games in total.
