The top 12 rugby-playing nations in the women's game will come together at the Women's Rugby World Cup 2006 in Edmonton Alberta Canada from 31 August to 17 September this year. The full match schedule, announced today, begins with defending champions New Zealand taking on hosts Canada at Ellerslie Rugby Park. Tickets for this and the rest of the games are now on sale.
Pool matches, which will be contested at Ellerslie Rugby Park and St. Albert Rugby Football Club, will determine the rankings that will position teams for the knockout rounds. The final will be played at Commonwealth Stadium on 17 September. Matches at these three great venues will provide the public with a tremendous opportunity to view world class women's rugby at a very reasonable price.
Edmonton, a city accustomed to holding events of this calibre, will welcome two-time defending champions New Zealand Black Ferns along with England (runners-up - 2002 WRWC), France (third - 2002 WRWC), Canada (fourth 2002 WRWC), Scotland, USA, Australia, Spain, Kazakhstan, Ireland, South Africa, and Samoa.
