Description
Welcome to the Women’s Rugby Rundown for Aug 28-Sep 3. South Africa, Wales, Japan, Samoa, and Ireland have revealed their training squads for the WXV, and the majority of teams are set to compete on the weekend of September 30 in anticipation of the official launch of the WXV Tournament. Additionally, World Rugby has reported an 11% increase in global rugby growth compared to the previous year, largely driven by emerging rugby nations and increased participation from women and girls.
Leinster secured their first Ireland Interprovincial Championship title since 2019 with a 33-14 victory over Munster, while Canterbury’s record-breaking semifinal win sets up their Farah Palmer Cup final against Auckland. In Scotland, Watsonian leads the Premiership, Berkeley All Blues continue their dominance in the WPL, and Italy’s Series A calendar with eight teams has been unveiled with a start date of November 12.
We close out the week with 9 features, 7 media and 3 rugby jobs.
