An unspecified injury has seen her left out of the team for Friday's (Saturday AEST) clash but Miller, who has made an impressive switch from sevens rugby, played with a heavily strapped left knee in the 46-17 quarter-final victory over South Africa before going off early in the second half.
Kennedy Tukuafu, who co-captained of the team that won the World Cup on home soil four years ago, replaces Miller in one of four changes to the starting line-up.
Sylvia Brunt returns at centre after missing the quarter-final victory because of a head knock, Risi Pouri-Lane replaces Maia Joseph at scrumhalf and the more experienced Tanya Kalounivale has been preferred at tighthead to Veisinia Mahutariki-Fakalelu.
The winners advance to the September 27 final to meet England or France, who play their semi-final at Ashton Gate on Saturday.
