Fourth-ranked Canadian women’s rugby team to face No. 13 South Africa on Saturday
Four months after finishing fourth at the Women’s Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, Canada returns to action Saturday.
The South African women lost all three matches at the World Cup, to No. 3 France , No. 17 Fiji and No. 1 England . Australia will play host to New Zealand in June with all four teams converging on Canada in July for the final matches of the series. The top three teams qualify for the inaugural WXV, a new three-tier annual global women’s international 15s competition, while the bottom team will move on to the WXV second tier.
Canada has won its last seven outings against the U.S., a streak that dates back to July, 2019 and includes a pair of victories at the recent World Cup . Captain Sophie de Goede and hooker Emily Tuttosi, both named to World Rugby’s 15s Dream Team of the Year in 2022, will lead the Canada forwards.
