Rugby Union News: Australia and New Zealand Clash in Blockbuster SVNS Final
In a highly anticipated matchup, the Australia national rugby union team and the New Zealand national rugby union team are set to face off in the 2024 SVNS Series Grand Final in Madrid on June 2. The women’s final will be a clash of titans, with veteran Australia captain Charlotte Caslick leading her side against the formidable New Zealand squad.
The regular season of the newly revamped SVNS Series has concluded, and the top eight women’s and men’s teams have qualified for the winner-takes-all event in Spain’s capital. From May 31 to June 2, the Civitas Metropolitano Stadium, home of Spanish football giants Atletico Madrid, will host the thrilling conclusion to the season.
Caslick Leads Australia’s Charge
Caslick, a seasoned SVNS Series player, is eager to lead her team to their first Cup final triumph since their back-to-back victories in Dubai and Cape Town last December. However, the Australians faced a setback in Singapore earlier this month, where they fell short against the formidable Black Ferns Sevens, led by the influential Jorja Millar.
“We’re feeling really good,” Caslick said. “We had some disappointing injuries in Singapore, but we are really looking forward to seeing how it goes here. It is winner-takes-all, so the girls are pumped for a big showdown. Hopefully, we can cross with New Zealand in the final.”
Now, with the chance to make amends in the Grand Final, the Australians are “pumped” and ready to take on the League title-winning New Zealand side. Caslick, who along with Sharni Smale, missed the Singapore event due to injuries, has been named in the squad for the Madrid showdown, providing a welcomed boost for the Aussies.
