Gloucester-Hartpury’s Mia Venner, who finished joint top of last season’s PWR try-scoring charts, come in on the wing.
Aitchinson, Heard and Talling all play for Sale Sharks, whose men’s team host games at the CorpAcq Stadium, where Saturday’s match takes place.
“I have very fond memories of the North West from my time with Sale Sharks so it’s awesome to be able to take our game to this part of the country,” said head coach John Mitchell, who spent two spells with the club as a player and a coach.
“Playing in a different part of the country allows us to be present in the community and keeps the game healthy. You’ve not only got to be visible, but if you can actually be close to your community, I think that’s even better.”
Unlike England’s men, who are tied to Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium by the commercial advantages of staging matches in an 82,000-capacity venue owned by the Rugby Football Union, the Red Roses are regularly on the road.
England will take on Canada for the first time since victory in the team’s meeting in last year’s Rugby World Cup final at Exeter’s Sandy Park next weekend, before finishing the home leg of the WXV Global Series against New Zealand at Allianz Stadium on 26 September.
Away matches against Canada (twice) and the United States follow in October as part of the new-look event which aims to fill out the women’s Test calendar away from the World Cup.
Australia have named the uncapped Amelia Whitaker on the wing. Whitaker, 20, is the niece of former Australia and Leinster scrum-half Chris Whitaker.
Elsewhere, exciting 19-year-old Caitlyn Halse, one of a clutch of Australians to have signed for Leicester for the next PWR season, is included at full-back.
England have won all eight of the teams’ previous meetings, most recently prevailing 47-7 in the pool stages of last year’s World Cup.
