The Road to the World Cup
This match is the second leg of a tense European qualifying series. Wales currently holds a significant advantage after securing a commanding 22-5 victory in the first leg at Hive Stadium in Edinburgh. The Scots now face a formidable challenge, needing to overcome a 17-point deficit on Welsh soil to keep their World Cup dreams alive.
The ultimate prize for the winner of this two-legged tie is a direct ticket to the 2025 World Cup in England. The losing team, however, will be thrust into the pressure cooker of a last-chance global repechage tournament, fighting for one final spot in the competition.
What's at Stake?
The intensity of this rivalry is set to reach a fever pitch. For Wales, a win on home turf would cement their place amongst the world's elite. For Scotland, it's a chance to stage a spectacular comeback and seize qualification against the odds. This is more than a game; it's a defining moment for women's rugby in both nations.
