This is Scotland’s first ever home game against New Zealand and the first time the two have met for four years.
This is the second of three major Tests at Hive Stadium in this inaugural year of the new WXV Global Series, the new tournament that sees the top 12 teams in the world competing home-and-away over two seasons around the September/October international window. The Black Ferns have won the Women’s Rugby World Cup six times – more times than any other country – and are currently ranked 2nd in the world.
