Scotland v Spain

Scotland Women will host Spain on Saturday 30 September at Hive Stadium in Edinburgh as preparations get underway for World Rugby’s new global competition, WXV (kick-off time to be confirmed).

The hosts secured their spot in the second tier of the competition, WXV 2, which will be held in Cape Town this October, after finishing fourth in the recent TikTok Women’s Six Nations championship.

Spain will feature in WXV 3 in Dubai later this year, with the side missing out on a place in WXV 2 after a 23-0 defeat against Italy in the tournament qualifier.

Scotland’s previous clash with Spain was during the 2021 Rugby World Cup Europe Qualifiers tournament in Parma, with the Scots holding off a late comeback from Spain to record a 27-22 victory.

The hosts will be looking to continue their recent spell of promising performances, with the side recording two back-to-back victories against Italy and Ireland in April.

Scotland Women Head Coach, Bryan Easson, said: “We enjoyed an encouraging conclusion to our recent TikTok Women’s Six Nations campaign and this test against Spain is the perfect opportunity to continue the positive momentum and keep building as a squad.

“We’re thoroughly excited to get underway with WXV preparations and with all the teams confirmed for the competition in South Africa, it is vital that we expose and test ourselves against different playing styles and opposition.

“To finish the tournament with a record home crowd was a truly special occasion for everyone involved and it would be brilliant to see the support back at the stadium before we fly to Cape Town.”

Match tickets for Scotland’s fixture against Spain will go on public sale online on Thursday 10 August.

Supporters can secure their tickets for all three of Scotland’s home games this season at Hive Stadium with the newly launched Season Pass, including Spain, France, and England.
