Scotland begin their first-ever tour of Australia at Sydney's sprawling Stadium Australia in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Their travels down under are part of the inaugural WXV Global Series 2026 – the new 12-team women's international rugby union tournament that began in the Northern Hemisphere in September.
After a bruising home series last month, which included a 30-10 defeat to Australia in their last game, the Scots will hope for more success down under.
Interim head coach Dave Butcher has made two changes to the side that was beaten by the Wallaroos in Edinburgh, with starts for scrum-half Leia Brebner-Holden and winger Katie Buchanan, and will hope his side can rise to meet their milestone moment.
Scotland's first match against the Wallaroos in Australia is worth staying up for, or at least setting an alarm, and UK fans can tune in for free coverage.
Radio Times has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Australia v Scotland on TV and online.
