Taking place at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai, the tournament will shift forward by one day from its original dates that were announced earlier this month.

Rugby World Cup Qualification

Teams from Scotland, Samoa, Colombia and the winner of the Hong Kong v Kazakhstan play-off – which has now been confirmed for the 13th February at the Asia Rugby Women’s Championship – will compete for the last remaining place at Rugby World Cup 2021 in New Zealand, taking place between 8 October – 12 November, 2022.

The Final Qualification Tournament will operate in a semi-final, final format over two match days. Teams have been seeded as per World Rugby’s Rankings powered by Capgemini as of 20 December, 2021, with Scotland (seed 1) v Colombia (seed 4) and Samoa (seed 2) v Hong Kong/Kazakhstan (seed 3) meeting in the semi-finals.

Taking into consideration the heat and humidity in Dubai in February the games will be played during late afternoon/evening under the following schedule (all times local time):

19 February, 2022: 16:30 – Semi-Final 1, Scotland v Colombia
19 February, 2022: 19:00 – Semi-Final 2, Samoa v Hong Kong/Kazakhstan
25 February, 2022: 16:30 – 3rd v 4th play-off, runner-up of SF2
25 February, 2022: 19:00 – Final, winner of SF1 v winner of SF2
Rugby World Cup 2021 Tournament Director, Alison Hughes, commented: “As our plans continue to progress in earnest for the Rugby World Cup 2021 Final Qualification Tournament, it is great to be able to confirm the revised dates that are more in-line with our local hosts as well as the fixtures for the two-day event. This is the final piece of the jigsaw for the qualification process for Rugby World Cup 2021; there is a lot on the line for these teams and we know they’ll come out firing to claim the last spot for New Zealand next year.”

This is the first time the women’s edition of Rugby World Cup has featured a Final Qualification Tournament offering teams a second pathway to qualify with the winner booking their place in Pool A alongside hosts New Zealand, Australia and Wales next year.
