      Canada unable to see space and getting monstered by England's set piece. Only eight minutes in and this looks like a easy win.

        England tried running the ball and ended up running sideways and over the touch so kicked it out and mauled. How surprising.
        The most one trick pony you could ever see.

          If Canada are semi finalists, how bad were the rest of the teams?

            Ok. They scored a backline try.
            This is going to be a rout.

              Ok, that was a good try by Canada off set piece from their own half.. Bad defence by England.

                @antipodean they needed that great try from Canada ., when you move this England team around they look vunerable

                  No advantage? It's a fucking penalty instead of a free kick. These players deserve competent refs.

                      Canada are exposing some weaknesses in England but don’t quite have the play to take it further.

                          Surprised at the scoreline after the first 10mins. England will needs a calming chat in the changeroom I guess.

                                    @Chris-B not so sure about Canada’s kicking game ,but if they can stay in the fight anything can happen

                                      England look susceptible when Canada go wide, but they have overdone the kicking.

                                      Much closer than everyone thought if you take away England's opportunities to lineout drive.

                                        @Steven-Harris Yeah - the longer they're in the fight the more jittery you'd expect the English girls to get.

                                        If they use the wind smartly, they're a chance at a boilover.

                                          @Chris-B Canada have really surprised me up front more than held their own , i do wonder if England have 2nd gear though , they are strongest in the 3rd quater
                                          Really entertaining game been hugely impressed the Canadian halfback Pelletier ,got a smart rugby brain ,no 6 Forteza is superb on the tackle

                                                Super dumb, paint by numbers rugby from Canada. All it needed was 2 passes at any stage of those half a million one out runs and they score.

                                                      Yeah, the way they stretch England wide, expose one side but then immediately play back to the other side where all the English players remain isn't that smart either.

                                                                          Congrats to England, very good game.

                                                                            They hold on and then look at the ref, before reacting.

                                                                            If the BFs beat France I am more confident now we have the class out wide to punish England. The forwards will need to play their best game of the year though as England counter-ruck a lot.
