At the event, Sarah Stewart, Torika Nadruku, Bec Smyth and Fiona Laurie will play 15s rugby for the first time - having previously been trailblazers in sevens rugby in the region. Only Red Devils and Central North teammate Abby Northrup has played 15s before.
Stewart described the prospect as "pretty daunting" but something she was "really looking forward to".
"I've never played a game of 15s before," she said, "so for me it's a big achievement just to be selected in the team.
"And I'm really looking forward to having my first 15s game. It's a completely different game to sevens, and I think it will be a really good experience for all the girls involved."

Stewart said most Central North players would not have played 15s rugby before.
She said a lot of girls "were prepared to plays sevens because there's less people on the field and more room to run" but were less keen to play 15s "because we're going from no experience [in 15s] to a championship level, and that's pretty daunting".
"So, for a lot of us, it's getting in there and seeing how the game goes," she added. "But I do think we have a good team that can definitely be competitive this weekend."
Stewart said 15s rugby provided "more opportunities for a variety of girls" than sevens did, given the latter was so speed-focused - especially at a higher level.
Another Red Devil, Emma Lambeth, was named a Central North shadow player.
Central North plays both their pool games at Scully Park on Saturday morning: against Central West (8am) and Illawarra (9.40am).
