- The All Blacks remain in contention a point back and visit Perth for a Wallabies rematch, with coach Scott Robertson seeking greater consistency and injuries ruling out Beauden Barrett and Ethan de Groot.
- England’s Red Roses, fresh from a 33-13 World Cup final win over Canada and a fan celebration at Battersea Power Station, turn focus to legacy with expanded Premiership Women’s Rugby coverage and RFU development initiatives.
