Welcome to Women’s Rugby Rundown 207 for June 23–29. Trinidad and Tobago edged Mexico in a thriller, but Mexico still walked away with their first RAN XVs title since 2019 by the slimmest of margins. The result helped Trinidad and Tobago jump four spots in the World Rugby Rankings, while Mexico slipped two. In other action, Australia A impressed in a dominant win over Samoa. Ilona Maher earned her first ESPYS nomination, joining a powerhouse lineup that includes Coco Gauff, Simone Biles, and A’ja Wilson. Vicky Dombroski, the only woman to coach the Black Ferns, is featured in the new documentary No Tears on the Field. Denver Onyx wrapped the first season of Women’s Elite Rugby with a statement win over New York to claim the inaugural WER Legacy Cup. Rugby World Cup prep continues with eleven national teams in action soon. Great Britain secured the overall European 7s Championship title despite a strong final-leg push from Poland, and the LIT Super 7s Series Elite heads to its final stop at Bury St Edmunds with the title still on the line. That’s it for this week as we round up all the global Premier and Club competitions worldwide.
