Round two of the highly successful women’s Super League series kicks-off this Sunday (May 4th) at Heythrop Park in Oxfordshire.

The Thunder and Tornadoes teams will be looking for another victory, while the Stormers and the Celtic Hurricanes will also be keen to get their first wins of the series.

Thunder, who are coached by England A Head Coach Mike Barnett and Richard Arnold, have again named another strong team including RBS 6 Nations winners Rochelle Clark, Jo McGilchrist and Maggie Alphonsi. They will take on the Celtic Hurricanes at 12pm.
