Scotland at the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025: Remaining fixtures, squad, history, how to watch, qualification
@Source: scotsman.com
Scotland got off to the best possible start in the Women’s Rugby World Cup at the weekend, with a 38-8 demolition of Wales. Francesca McGhie bagged a hat-trick of tries and was joined on the score sheet by Leia Brebner-Holden, Evie Gallagher and Emma Orr - with Helen Nelson adding four conversions. It was a record win for Scotland over Wales, and their biggest winning margin at the competition since 1994. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s up next for Scotland - and how they can qualify for the knock-out stages. Scotland have two more fixtures in Pool B, as follows: Scotland v Fiji: Saturday, August 30 at 2.45pm Canada v Scotland: Saturday, September 6 at 12noon The top two teams from each pool of four will go through the the quarter-finals. Put simply, if Scotland can beat Fiji in their next match then they will almost certainly go through. If not they’ll face the tough task of having to beat Canada - who are the world’s second best team on current rankings. If Scotland win Pool B (which is unlikely as Canada are hot favourites) they will play the second placed side in Pool A, which is likely to be Australia. The most likely outcome is that Scotland set through in second place and play the winners of Pool A which, unfortunately for the Scots, is likely to be world number ones England. It would certainly be a memorable clash with the Auld Enemy. Scotland have played in six Rugby World Cups and made the quarter-finals in 1994, 1998 and 2002 - beaten by Wales, USA and Canada respectively. Since then they have been knocked out in the group stages All Scotland’s games will be broadcast live on BBC2 and will also be available on the iPlayer.
