Red Roses to host Spain in Rugby World Cup preparation game
The Red Roses will host Spain in a preparation match ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup.
John Mitchell’s side will welcome Las Leonas to Mattioli Woods Welford Road on Saturday 2nd August (kick-off 3pm) before heading to Mont-de-Marsan a week later to take on France.
Last autumn Spain won WXV 3 after a clean sweep of victories against Madagascar, Netherlands and Fiji. It means they will feature in the Rugby World Cup for the first time since 2017.
Laura Delgado, Alba Capell, Carmen Castellucci, Claudia Pena and Cristina Blanco are among the Spanish capped contingent that ply their trade in the PWR.
Tickets for the match are priced from £15 per adult, £5 for children or a family ticket (2 x adults and 2 x children) from £35.
