Scotland host the Wallaroos in Round 3 of the 2026 WXV Global Series.

The Wallaroos are looking to wrap up their series against Scotland in Sydney.

The match is the second in their three-Test series, with the Aussies claiming first blood in Edinburgh last month.

PRE GAME
T-45 MIN TO GO: Warm-ups underway

Both teams have taken the field as the warm-ups are underway on the field.

A quick check of the surface after a sideline check: looks way worse than it actually is. It's very sandy but hopefully holds up.

T-60 MIN TO GO: Late change for Scotland

Welcome to Rugby.com.au's coverage of the Wallaroos second Test against Scotland in Sydney.

Sydney is overcast, with a chance of rain throughout the game, while the pitch looks worse for wear after last week's monster truck event.

A change for Scotland: Sarah Bonar is out. Hollie Cunningham comes into the starting side, with Adelle Ferrie onto the bench.

The Wallaroos are unchanged from the team named on Thursday.
