Super Aupiki and Super W Finalists Locked In as WXV Schedule Details Emerge | WRR 255
About this episode
This episode covers recent international matches, community concerns regarding World Rugby's broadcasting decisions, and updates on domestic rugby finals.
Welcome to WRR 255 for July 13-19. On the international stage, we're catching up on a July 4 clash where Bermuda won over Cayman Islands. Off the pitch, community outrage is boiling over as World Rugby failed to broadcast two top-ten Tests, and our direct requests for answers have been ignored. In other news, pioneering referee Aimee BAR-it THAIR-un announced a pause from officiating to undergo breast cancer treatment. Finally, domestic title races are reaching a climax. Matatū and the Blues locked in the Super Rugby Aupiki final, the Fijian Drua and NSW Waratahs advanced to the Super W decider, and WER delivered a dramatic Round 9 to set up a winner-take-all showdown between TC Gemini and the Bay Breakers. 🌍 Our global women's rugby news recap can be found at https://scrumhalfconnection.com/2026/07/20/super-aupiki-and-super-w-finalists-locked-in-as-wxv-schedule-details-emerge-wrr-255/
