Scottish Rugby have confirmed the full slate of venues for this Autumn’s WXV Global Series and Women’s Six Nations fixtures.

The return to Murrayfield, where the union set a Scottish record for a women’s sporting event against England’s Red Roses in April, against Ireland will be the showpiece fixture of the nation’s six home fixtures across the 2026/27 season.

That fixture, which closed out both teams’ 2026 Women’s Six Nations campaigns, will see Scotland and Ireland contest the Siobhan Cattigan trophy for the second time.

Other Women’s Six Nations fixtures against Italy and Wales will be hosted at Edinburgh Rugby’s Hive Stadium on the grounds of Murrayfield.

All three of Scotland’s WXV Global Series fixtures – which will be played against Canada, New Zealand and Australia – will be hosted at Hive Stadium this September.

Rachel Malcolm, Scotland Women captain, said: “To get the opportunity to play at Scottish Gas Murrayfield for a second time is another step forward for the women’s game in Scotland.

“The off-pitch experience, made possible by our incredible fans was phenomenal, but the performance against England didn’t match up, so having a year to build up to this next opportunity against one of our favourite opponents is exactly what this young squad needs, and we will do everything we can as players to make this a day to remember for our fans.

“The upcoming Autumn tests are going to be a massive challenge for us as a team but a really exciting one. We have the opportunity to play some of the best teams in the world and challenge ourselves against teams and styles of rugby we are not used to coming up against.

“In particular, welcoming New Zealand to Scotland for the first time will be a special opportunity of two proud nations, rich in culture to come up against each other in our country’s capital.”

Dave Rennie's 12-word verdict on the Springbok scrum in Soweto

I don’t blame the play style - that’s been our game for a while, and they were still good around the park and scoring out of it. You take them away and we lose our advantage which is speed around the park. And while having more pushing from the loosies would certainly help, it’s still the tight five that’s gonna have to do the bulk of the improvements. A large part of that as well is how unsettled the combinations are compared to the Boks, who’ve built that cohesion between a range of players in their pack over a long period of time.

Selection alone won’t be a quick fix, especially looking at what happened to scrummaging when you go further down the depth chart in the club games. Stats show that front row is a position that a number of premier clubs in NZ are struggling to fill, affecting depth, and the ones good enough to go pro will keep getting rude awakenings in test rugby if the majority of their high level scrummaging at that point has either been against other Kiwis or against Australians especially, since scrummaging has never really been their forte. It becomes even worse when some teams manage to hoard test front rowers (e.g. the Crusaders under Razor having 1.5 All Blacks front rows at their disposal in every game). Leads to them thinking they could do more of the same at test level (much like how Razor seemed to think we could impose our set piece on the rest of the test nations just because he could do the same with the Crusaders against the rest of Super).
