Welcome to the Women’s Rugby Rundown for July 3-9. The Black Ferns have secured their spot in WXV 1, while Colombia has successfully qualified for WXV 3. Australia and Canada are expected to secure qualification for WXV 2 after their PAC 4 matches this weekend. The USA faces high stakes as they take on the reigning champions, the Black Ferns, with a victory ensuring their place in WXV 1. Meanwhile, a loss would still see them qualify for WXV 2. The anticipation grows as we eagerly await the outcome of the Italy versus Spain match on July 22, which will determine the final qualification spots.

In 7s news, France emerged victorious at the Hamburg 7s, securing a clean sweep of the European Championships. Meanwhile, Sweden and Romania clinched the final spots but will face relegation to the Trophy Series for 2024. In the European Trophy, Ukraine emerged as the winners, while Bulgaria and Moldova’s last-place finish relegated them to the Conference Series. Shifting our focus to the USA, it has been announced that the USA Club 7s National Championships will be held in Madison, Wisconsin on August 12-13. Additionally, the PR 7s makes a return this weekend with the Western Conference Finals set to take place in San Jose, CA.

We close out the week with 6 features and 1 media.
