Rugby Australia can confirm the Wallaroos\u2019 first home Test against Scotland in the WXV Global series will be played prior to the Bledisloe Test between Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n
The Wallaroos will play at Accor Stadium for the first time in eight years as part of the double header fixture.<\/p>\n
Scotland will tour Australian shores for a maiden appearance in October as part of the WXV Global series, playing the Wallaroos in two Tests on home soil.<\/p>\n
The final Test match against Scotland will be played at GIO Stadium in Canberra on October 23 in a standalone fixture to finish the international season for the Wallaroos.<\/p>\n
General Manager of Women\u2019s High Performance Jilly Collins said:\u00a0“We are incredibly excited to bring the Wallaroos back to Accor Stadium for the first time in eight years.<\/p>\n
“Featuring alongside the Wallabies for a double header provides a premier stage for our players and a brilliant spectacle for Australian rugby fans.<\/p>\n
“This home series holds extra weight as it follows our clash with Scotland in Edinburgh just a few weeks prior.<\/p>\n
“Facing them twice on home soil – culminating in a standalone Test in Canberra \u2013 is a significant milestone for the WXV Global series.<\/p>\n
“We are excited to see the Wallaroos\u2019 continued growth as they conclude the international season in front of a home crowd.”<\/p>\n
The Wallaroos last played Scotland when they claimed the WXV 2 title in Cape Town in 2024.<\/p>\n
Previously the two nations have met on four occasions since 1998 for a 4-0 record in favour of the Wallaroos.<\/p>\n
