Midfield back Kilistina Moata'ane was picked for the Black Ferns side to take on the United States and France in a three test tour this month. The Black Ferns are due to take on France in Toulon tomorrow morning and have named one debutant in their squad - reserve flanker Marcelle Parkes, from Wellington. The Black Ferns reserves will be made up of six forwards and two backs, a proven combination from last year's Women's Rugby World Cup. Moore said he was impressed with aspects of the Black Ferns' performance against the USA in Chicago last Sunday, but there was always room for improvement. The Black Ferns will play against France in a game which will kick-off at 9.30pm local time [8.30am tomorrow NZ time].
