    There's a huge amount of experience in the front row for Canada, it is the polar opposite maybe to the Welsh front row.

    They get it to that red zone, in to the 22 and they execute. They haven't been in there long but they come away with points.

    It's a great finish by Canada in the end.

    Wales threw everything at Canada, but they could deal with it comfortably.

    Canada had one chance in Wales' 22 and they came out of it with seven points.

    Canada show how to be ruthless with the opening try through prop McKinley Hunt. Wales had the early pressure but Canada are more clinical.

    Canada 0-0 Wales

    Some strong Wales defence from Abbie Fleming and Georgia Evans helps force another turnover in the Welsh 22.

    But a loose Lleucu George kick puts pressure right back on Wales on their own line.

    I was really impressed with Molly Reardon [Wales hooker] in the Celtic Challenge in January.

    She got injured later on but I really do rate her and I'm sure she will rise to the occasion when she gets her rhythm.

    Canada 0-0 Wales

    Canada have their first foray into the Wales 22 after a lineout mistake but a crucial turnover intervention from Georgia Evans helped force a penalty.

    But the Wales' lineout is misfiring with three throws now going awry.

    Rachel Taylor
    Former Wales captain and coach on BBC Radio Wales

    In the first few minutes we've seen Wales being physical, showing intent and putting a bit of pride back.

    Everyone knows how hard this game is going to be, but in terms of a response from the end of the Scotland game, it is exactly what Sean Lynn would've wanted.

    They [Canada] are adventurous, they are brave, they want to move the ball.

    They are an exciting attacking team and they are not afraid early on in this game. Even though it's Wales dominance at the moment they are not afraid to get the ball to those wide channels.

    Canada 0-0 Wales

    What a difference in Wales' start after they conceded after 55 seconds last week against Scotland.

    Carys Cox has been influential in the opening exchange, while a cross kick just eluded Bethan Lewis with the try line begging.

    Wales are getting closer.

    Wales had a long period of pressure in the Canada 22 there but did not manage to come away with points.

    But their intent is very encouraging.

    Today Jasmine Joyce-Butchers is totally on it.

    What a difference to the physically the one-on-one tackles and the holding up.

    I've got in my notes Welsh disruption of that Canadian rhythm and that's exactly how they've started today.

    It's a great start by Wales.

    Bryonie King does exceptionally well. Look at the Wales celebrations after forcing an early scrum.

    They know this is a big game for them today, they know they have to fight for everything.

    Wales full-back Nel Metcalfe produces an inventive kick towards the Canada line and it only just eludes wing Lisa Neumann as the ball agonisingly rolls into touch.

    A great start here from Wales.

    I've already said it but physicality is that key word today.

    Wales number eight Georgia Evans is someone to look out for, she is absolutely ferocious so she is going to lead the way today.

    Canada's ruck speed is unbelievable, it is so difficult to defend that.

    Wales need physicality at the breakdown, they need to target the contact area and they're going to have to try and slow Canada down.
