    Canada know they are not going to get as good opportunities from chasing the 22, so they are going to be looking to chip away at these small points.

    Wowsers chief, that's a lovely reference. Canada are still coming strong though and very much hoping they'll get England next time...

    This is a really good response from Canada, whose pack now have England on the ropes...

    They can't get over the line though and Zoe Aldcroft nicks the ball off the floor! Superb.

    Loving this relentless approach from England. Easily the best they’ve played. Can’t believe Canada don’t have a card, lost track of the pens.

    Canada keep the ball well, driving England back with continued pressure but England defnd really well. Ellie Kildunne gathers a high kick impeccably.
