Welcome to the top women's rugby news in under 60 seconds for Nov 1-7. We begin with all the scores from the Autumn International matches over the weekend and Wales in a surprise announcement is investing more than $2.5 million dollars in contracting up to 25 players. 10 players will become “professional” and the rest will be on “retained” contracts. This is an incredibly exciting step forward for the Welsh women’s rugby program but “professional” will have to be defined as we know it can mean many things.

In 7s news, Ireland announced a new Head Coach, Asia released the schedule for the 2021 Dialog 7s on November 19 which also serves as a 2022 Rugby World Cup Qualifier and Dubai announced all the teams attending their HSBC 7s Series leg on Dec 4-5.

In domestic XVs news, we have all the action from Hong Kong's Premiership, the Allianz Premier 15s Cup, and Ireland's AIL.
