In a thrilling conclusion to the WXV 2 tournament, Australia claimed the title from Scotland with a 31-22 victory in Cape Town. The match, held at Athlone Stadium, was a high-stakes encounter, as both teams entered with two wins each. However, Scotland's hopes of defending their title were dashed as they finished the game with just 13 players on the field, allowing Australia to seize the opportunity and emerge victorious. The match highlighted the consequences of indiscipline, as Scotland struggled to maintain their composure under pressure.

The Wallaroos secured a thrilling 33-26 victory over South Africa in Cape Town, propelling them into the WXV2 final against unbeaten Scotland next week. The match featured a dramatic finish, with Ash Marsters making a crucial last-minute steal that helped seal the win for the Australian women's team. The game showcased outstanding performances, particularly from wingers Desiree Miller and record-breaking Maya Stewart, who played pivotal roles in the Wallaroos' success. With this victory, Australia is now poised to compete for the WXV2 title at the same venue against Scotland, who have yet to lose in the tournament.
