    Canada 7-7 Wales

    Ha I'm afraid Wales aren't listening Alecs.

    They know where their strength is, a lineout maul and they win the penalty.

    It's been positive on both teams, they are both struggling to get their attack sorted, it would be good to see the ball out wide.

    A word on English referee Sara Cox, she currently shares the record as the most-capped female referee in test history with South Africa's Aimee Barrett-Theron, though she is running the rule over this fixture for the first time.

    Oh Jasmine Joyce saves a try, what a tackle on Florence Symonds.

    The Canada wing was flying down the touchline but Joyce scampers across and nails her player into touch.

    Huge pats on the back from her teammates.

    Jasmine Joyce could step past a player in a phone box!

    She has that ability to beat the first tackler but it's a shame her pass wasn't as impressive or Wales would have been flying.

    Sara Cox has just had a word with Wales scrum-half Keira Bevan for appealing for a penalty. The ref is having none of it!

    Wales and Canada are both playing a similar style of rugby, they are very forward dominant.

    Oh Canada will be frustrated by that, missing touch with a penalty and Jasmine Joyce shows how it's done.

    The Welsh full-back hoofs it back into Canada's half with very little angle to work with.

    Canada 7-7 Wales

    Things have settled down a bit here after that frantic start.

    Both packs have sussed each other out and it looks a real contest at the scrum.

    That's an area where Wales have really improved this year.

    Canada fly-half Claire Gallagher tries a neat chip over the top of the on-rushing Welsh defence but Shoshanah Seumanutafa over runs it and Jasmine Joyce shows great strength to clear up.

    I was here in New Zealand at the World Cup last year and it's a shame we don't have the same atmosphere at WXV.

    Hopefully interest (and crowds) will build as the competition progresses.

    Huge hit in midfield by Bethan Lewis on Sara Svoboda and Sisilia Tuipulotu turns the ball over in the middle of the pitch.

    Wales had one of the worst discipline records in the Six Nations - especially at the breakdown.

    Ioan Cunningham will know they need to clean up their act.

    That will really settle the Welsh nerves after Canada put them on their heels with that opening score.

    Game on!

    Carys Phillips try, Keira Bevan con

    What a response from Wales, they hit straight back with a smart lineout move.

    Phillips threw short in the lineout to Alisha Butchers who passed it straight back to the hooker to catch Canada napping.

    Keira Bevan steers the conversion over from the touchline - great kick.

    Having Jazz Joyce back, it gives that confidence, a massive attacking threat, she is a massive confidence boost for Wales.

    Credit to the soundman there, a Bryan Adams track for a Canadian score.

    Let's hope we hear a bit of Tom Jones next.

    Converted try: Canada 7-0 Walespublished at 4 mins

    Sophie de Goede try and con

    The number eight comes off the back of that lineout and makes in-roads.

    Canada right in the middle of the pitch and the captain is back on her feet to receive the pass and crash over.

    She started the move, finished it and kicked the conversion. Is there anything she can't do?!

    Georgia Evans penalised for not rolling away and Canada have another chance to edge closer to the Welsh line. Discipline!

    Wales flanker Alex Callender pinged for what's judged a late tackle and Canada get the chance to boot the ball upfield and set up the game's first attack.
