Welcome to WRR 202 for May 19–25. New Zealand reclaimed the 2025 Pacific Four Series title, with Canada finishing as runners-up and Australia taking third as coach Jo Yapp announced she will step down after the World Cup. Japan secured a third straight Asia Rugby Championship title. The 2025 RAN Inter-Regional tournament kicked off with Mexico defeating Jamaica in the opening match. In a major step forward, the USA Women’s Eagles are now professional as they build toward the 2025 RWC. In South America, Argentina claimed the SAR 7s women’s crown and will join runner-up Colombia in the 2026 SVNS Division 3. The fallout of the SVNS revamp continues as the IRFU confirmed it will maintain its women’s sevens program as part of its long-term strategy, even as the men’s program is cut.
