England Women will be looking to round off their North American tour with a win when they take on the USA tonight.
John Mitchell's side have lost back-to-back matches for the first time since 2016, with Canada putting them to the sword twice in recent weeks.
The head coach has now made four changes to his team to face the Americans, with star name Ellie Kildunne dropped to the bench.
Mitchell says he knew the inevitable dip in form was coming.
"I've been waiting for it," Mitchell said. "It's not something that I make excuses about, but I've been waiting for a dip.
"For me, it's really exciting to get the information that we have. I've tried some things as well, and we have been like 60/40 in terms of renewal.
"We've got a lot of young players going into their 11th Test match for the year, and we've got some outstanding players to come back as well.
"There are a couple of things I've tried that haven't paid off, but it's a good time to try things. I'm actually OK with that."
Here is everything you need to know.
The game between the two sides takes place on Friday, October 30, at Sports Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey, USA.
Proceedings get under way at 9.15pm UK time.
No TV channel will be broadcasting the match, but you can watch for free on BBC iPlayer and the BBC website.
