Welcome to Women’s Rugby Rundown 195 for March 31–April 6. The Black Ferns locked up the SVNS League title after a dominant regular season, capping it with a statement win over Australia in Singapore. Pools for the upcoming SVNS Championship in Los Angeles were confirmed, with the final Challenger spots still up for grabs in Krakow next weekend. Spain improved to 2-0 in the European Championship and will face second-place Netherlands in a top-of-the-table clash. In the U.S., National Collegiate Rugby’s reversal of its transgender inclusion policy has sparked backlash across the rugby community, while concerns continue to grow around the expected 2035 Rugby World Cup bid from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE over serious human rights issues. That and more as we round up all the global Premier and Club competitions worldwide.
