Three Chiefs Women in Red Roses’ WXV squad
Published on: 07/09/2026
Three Exeter Chiefs Women will feature in the Red Roses 36-player squad for the upcoming WXV Global Series, which starts this weekend.
Back-row Maddie Feaunati, winger Claudia Moloney-MacDonald and scrum-half Flo Robinson will all feature in the upcoming renewed version of the international tournament with their first game against Australia on Saturday, 12 September (KO 15:00) at the CorpAcq Stadium in Salford.
They will then head to home soil to take on fellow Rugby World Cup finalists Canada at Sandy Park on Saturday, 19 September (KO 15:00).
Red Roses will finish up their WXV campaign in England by playing the Black Ferns at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, 26 September – also kicking off at 15:00 – before heading over the pond to play Canada and the USA.
Red Roses head coach John Mitchell said: “It’s been a positive pre-season in the way we have trained and the exposure we have given to players. The girls have worked hard to elevate their connections, making us stronger, and have driven high standards.
“We have trained above the game level with great intensity and now we have an opportunity to excite ourselves, and the country, by the way we play rugby in three test matches across the country.
“This squad is only four weeks old; there is plenty in the tank. This is an exciting period to get after.”
All three of the Red Roses' home WXV Global Series matches will be shown live on England Rugby's YouTube channel and BBC iPlayer.
