'A lot to be proud of' after defeat by Canada - Scotland winger Lloyd

Rhona Lloyd scored one of Scotland's three tries against Canada

Rhona Lloyd says Scotland have left their mark on the World Cup, regardless of what happens in next week's quarter-final against England.

The Scots finished second in Pool B after wins against Wales and Fiji and a loss against Canada - ranked second in the world.

They meet hosts and favourites England in Bristol on Sunday.

"We want to compete with the best and we'll go and put on a performance we're proud of next week if we are against England," Lloyd told BBC Scotland.

"We want to be putting a mark on the world stage and I think we've really done that in this World Cup."

Scotland had hoped they could avoid England with a shock victory over Canada and although they fought bravely, Bryan Easson's side eventually fell to a 40-19 defeat.

"Initial feeling is just frustration," Lloyd said immediately after the game. "I think that shows how far we've come.

"I don't think the scoreline really reflected the game. There were massive periods we were really in it and a couple of patches let us down.

"There's bits to be really proud of and a lot to learn from. We could have probably been more disciplined.

"Right now it's really raw and it hurts, but I hope we can focus on how we competed with the second best team in the world.
