Welcome to the top women’s rugby news in under 60 seconds for Sep 19-25. We learned the last squads ahead of the 2021 Rugby World Cup with announcements from South Africa, Italy, Wales and England. Also, the Black Ferns beat Japan 95-12 while Canada defeated Fiji 24-7.

This closes out all of the warmup matches and the RWC begins October 7 with South Africa versus France, Fiji versus England and the headliner is Australia vs New Zealand. We’re hearing that you can watch matches in the USA on Peacock but we’re still awaiting confirmation. We’ll be watching when possible…as others have noted the viewing times are horrific! We will also be on the ground for a week and a half starting October 20th!

In domestic XVs news, Majadahonda became the first Iberdrola Super Cup Champion after defeating the Crocodiles 36-12, Nelson leads the Welsh Admiral Premiership, Old Belvedere is on top of Ireland’s Energia AIL, Stirling County remains on top of Scotland’s Tennent’s Premiership and Worcester leads the Allianz Cup.
