Canada are relentless. They drive for the line from the line-out, overwhelm Fiji's defence and Gillian Boag crashes over. So much for waiting for that try, eh?
They're going to have to wait for the try. Canada drive for the line but Fiji hold firm.

Canada switch back to the right but are denied once more.
Great defence from Fiji but Canada have a penalty advantage. They kick for the corner again.

Canada v Fiji (17:30 BST)
Speaking to World Rugby, Canada head coach Kevin Rouet said: "It’s an unpredictable team, and that's what we love with Fiji. You can't be too prepared because it's very unpredictable. It's fun to see that kind of style of play.
"We have a couple of key players who don't play this game, and we have players who haven't played in the past two games. So everybody's engaged, everybody knows the team is bigger than the individual, and I think it’s important to recognise that."
