The Wallaroos are set to honor Ashley Marsters, who will become the equal most-capped Australian women's Test player, during their upcoming match against South Africa in the WXV2 tournament.

Marsters will tie the record of 33 Test caps held by Liz Patu, marking a significant milestone in her career.

This match will be the first Test between the Wallaroos and South Africa since 2014, with the game taking place in Cape Town.

Historically, the Wallaroos have a strong track record against South Africa, having won their last three encounters prior to this match.

Following their impressive opening victory over Wales, where they won 37-5, the Wallaroos are focused on preparing for the challenge posed by South Africa.

Coach Jo Yapp highlighted the importance of building on their previous performance while recognizing the need for further improvement.

In the lineup, veteran centre Cecilia Smith returns to the starting position after a strong performance off the bench, while vice-captain Trilleen Pomare moves to the reserves.

Due to injuries, Yapp has brought in Western Force halfback Samantha Wood to replace Natalie Wright, who suffered a foot injury.

Five-eighth Arabella McKenzie remains sidelined with a concussion and will be monitored ahead of the final game against Scotland.

Uncapped forward Ashley Fernandez has returned home after sustaining a shoulder injury during training.

Brumbies prop Allana Sikameti has earned a bench spot after outperforming Alapeta Ngauamo in training.

Ashley Marsters, a flanker and world-class hooker who debuted in 2014, is celebrated for her significant contributions to the team.
