Leeds Rhinos Women’s head coach Lois Forsell will return to take charge of the Rhinos for their Betfred Women’s Challenge Cup quarter final game against Huddersfield Giants at AMT Headingley this Sunday, KO 12pm.

Forsell has been on maternity leave following the birth of her second son and will take over the head coach position from Leon Crick who will be assistant on Sunday.
Leeds have earned two big wins in their first Cup games against Leigh and Sheffield Eagles and are hoping to continue that winning start to the season and book their place in the semi-final.

Bella Sykes returns from injury and young star Frankie Blakey has been named in the Rhinos squad and the Academy star who was promoted to the first team this season could be set to make her debut.

Caitlin Beevers, Elle Frain and Ruby Enright are still ruled out with injury and Evie Cousins recently picked up a shoulder injury in training and Lacey Owen is unavailable this week.
