In partnership with Mastercard, The World Rugby Pacific Four Series 2023 schedule optimizes and complements the existing women’s domestic and international competition calendars for 2023. The cross-regional, international competition also acts as one of the principal annual qualification routes for the top two tiers of WXV with the top three placed teams qualifying for WXV 1 and the fourth-placed team securing a place in WXV 2.
Interim Head Coach Richard Ashfield’s comments ahead of the next leg of the Pacific Four Series: “The tour to Spain in March allowed us to bring some fresh blood into the squad. We hope that experience and the learnings from a tough game against Canada will allow us to continue to grow as a team as we progress in the Pacific Four against two more quality opponents.”
