Italy Qualifies for RWC 2021 & Scotland Upsets Ireland | WRR 41
Welcome to the top women's rugby news for Sep 20-26. Italy defeated Spain on the last day of competition at the European Qualifiers and punched their ticket for the 2021 Rugby World Cup. They will be in Pool B with Canada, USA and Asia 1. Scotland upset Ireland in the final moments of their match and moved on to the Final Qualification Tournament (repechage).
A lot of focus has been on Ireland and how they won't be at the World Cup, their first miss since 1994. Scotland's stunning performance wasn't only unexpected, most pundits were counting them out before the match even started (ourselves included). We're still awaiting details of the repechage, but we know the Scots will face runners-up in Asia, Samoa (Oceania), and Kenya (Africa). They should have a good chance of getting through and if so, would join New Zealand, Australia, and Wales in Pool A.
In 7s news, Great Britain won Edmonton 7s after beating USA 22-5 and we've learned the Premier Rugby Sevens schedule for October 9.
We close out the week with 3 articles in our "Other News", 11 features and 11 media.
