Australia have a rare drive forward but a handling error ends things.

Story of their match.

Much improved defence in this second half for Australia.

Sophie de Goede is named player of the match. Absolutely the right call.

A few in the crowd boo the decision to kick.

Canada's Alex Tessier silences them by splitting the posts.

I think that might be the first penalty I've reported on this World Cup. Every other game I've watched has been try-exclusives.

Canada nab a penalty right under the posts, and they're going to kick for points.

Canada have possession in a dangerous spot again. The Mexican wave is still going, it's creating a wall of noise.

There's a Mexican wave inside Ashton Gate as Australia clear a kick down field.

Ah, a forward pass stops this latest attack. This game has almost fallen asleep since that downpour of rain. It's just starting to wake up a bit, but tired mistakes still remain.

Canada have driven to within 10 metres, they want more.

Australia know this World Cup has passed but they are hanging on for pride.

And I think that effort is fizzling out.

Canada turn the ball over once more and a fab kick in behind gains them loads of yards.

For all this effort Australia are putting in, they need points.

Australia win the ball back. They've had all the possession in the second half, although Canada are defending superbly.

In fact, the second seeds win themselves another penalty off the ball.

The weather continues to affect this game. Australia's Maya Stewart almost breaks through on the wing but is tackled, and that momentum slides her into touch.

Just the one score so far in the second half. Australia are knocking on the door once again, 10 metres out.

The rain is stopping! There's a rainbow over Ashton Gate.

This is the kind of fight we want to see from Australia.

The rain continues to thump against the turf. The ball is like a bar of soap and slips out of an Australian's hand in midfield.

No they can't. Some masterclass defending from Canada. Who are patient and bate an Australian into tackling off her feet to give the Maple Leafs back possession.

Time for Australia to come again. Can they make this latest move stick?
