Bristol prepares to host two Women’s Rugby World Cup quarter-finals this weekend – including The Red Roses
Bristol is set to host two enthralling Women’s Rugby World Cup quarter-finals at Ashton Gate this weekend, including a home nations clash between England and Scotland.
The tournament, which kickstarted on August 22nd, has already been seen as a generational moment for women’s rugby, with it expected to become the most viewed women’s rugby event of all time.
It has already smashed records as the fastest-selling edition of the tournament ever, with more than 400,000 tickets sold, and tickets are still available for this weekend’s quarter-final action at Bristol’s Ashton Gate.
Fixtures
- Saturday 13th September: Canada vs Australia (16:00 kick-off)
- Sunday 14th September: England vs Scotland (16:00 kick-off)
On Saturday, world number two Canada face Australia, with Wallaroos looking to make the semi-finals for the first time since 2010. However, they face a stern challenge against a Canadian side that have looked powerful and assured throughout the tournament.
A day later, focus turns towards a rival clash between England and Scotland. The Red Roses remain the firm favourites to win the tournament on September 27th, but Scotland – who have never made the World Cup semi-finals – will be determined to create history against the odds.
Expect drama, excitement and high-intensity rugby as two of the world’s most well-known sides go head-to-head. Ashton Gate will also host both semi-finals on September 19th and 20th.
It’s set to be a spectacle like no other with inspiring personalities that will resonate with a wide demographic, whilst the tournament continues to play a central role in shaping positive perceptions of women’s sport at all levels of the game, championing gender equity, and enriching local communities.
While England’s match against Scotland is currently sold-out, tickets for Canada’s match against Australia and the following semi-finals are still available, starting from £15, continuing to showcase that this is the most accessible Rugby World Cup ever.
