Wales lost to Scotland in the 2024 Women's Six Nations

Wales have learned their opposition at next year's Rugby World Cup in England.

Ioan Cunningham's side have been drawn in Pool B along with Canada, Scotland and Fiji.

Wales were grouped with Six Nations rivals Scotland in the 2022 tournament, with Keira Bevan kicking a dramatic winning penalty.

They are also familiar with Canada having played them in a friendly in 2022 and again at WXV1 in 2023.

Wales have never come up against Fiji.

The world cup, which begins on 22 August, will be held across eight venues, with the final at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium on 27 September.

The fixtures will be confirmed on 22 October.
