The Build-up

Scotland played Fiji for the first time last year at Hive Stadium (pictured below), as part of Scotland Women’s preparations for their defence of the WXV2 title in South Africa. The team known as Fijiana compete annually in the Oceania Rugby Women’s Championship against Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Tonga, with the winner qualifying for the WXV3 tournament. They qualified for the 2025 Rugby World Cup by winning the 2024 Oceania Rugby Women’s Championship title. This is Fiji’s second appearance at a Rugby World Cup, having qualified for their first tournament in 2021 (where they announced their arrival on the biggest stage by beating South Africa in the pool stages).
