Manenti took the reins of the team after last year’s Commonwealth Games but since then the women have had little luck with injury.
Rio gold medallists Alicia Quirk, Ellia Green, Emilee Cherry, Tonegato and Parry have all had time on the sidelines in recent months, and superstar Charlotte Caslick has already been ruled out of the Sydney 7s, leaving Manenti to rely on the next generation to step up.
Tonegato, who had a shoulder injury, has been back into full contact training in recent weeks and Parry is doing everything possible to overcome a syndesmosis injury.
