As confirmed on Thursday, Lauren McConville will make her AFLW debut against the Giants and become the latest of the club’s Irish contingent to represent the club.

She comes into the side in place of Katie Lynch (managed).

An eight-player extended bench includes a potential AFLW debutant in Taya Oliver as well as Meara Girvan who is a chance to return from injury.

The SUNS will finalise its 21-player team on Friday evening.

First bounce is at 5:05pm at Manuka Oval. Catch all the action live on Fox Footy, Kayo and the Seven network (check your local guides).
