Welcome to WRR 173 for September 23-29. The first round of WXV action saw Canada climb to a record 2nd place, while Ireland secured a dramatic last-second win over the Black Ferns, marking only their second-ever victory over New Zealand. In WXV 3, World Cup qualification remains incredibly tight, with Spain, despite a bonus-point win, still needing to secure results against Fiji to avoid being overtaken by Samoa or Hong Kong. Meanwhile, Australia had a stark turnaround from their earlier warmup against Wales, beating them in WXV 2, and the Red Roses dominated the USA in WXV 1. As always, we round up all the global Premier and Club competitions worldwide.
