Canada
Good kick from the Canadian kicker. Good distance. Canadian line-out, about 12m from NZ try line.

England and France will maul them to death, easily unless something changes and fast
There goes the Candian maul again, ... oh oh, double whistle.
Kaipo Olsen-Baker sent to the bin. Side-entry to the maul.
@Stargazer how did Canada NOT score that??
NZ scrum on NZ 5m.
Liana Mikaele-Tu’u replaces Tafito Lafaele.
NZ line-out just outside our 22.
Ah bugger, that attack looked good, but the BFs can't finish it.
I'm starting to think that Ayesha Leti-I’iga would be a better centre than wing, btw. Maybe put a faster player on the left wing.

100% Agree
Robins-Reti slipped on the field, and still down. Hopefully not a bad injury. She looked good at the back.
Change of BFs halfbacks.
Tubic and Cocksedge both off the field, so Demant with the kicking duties. She misses.
Sub: Renee Wickliffe replaces Robins-Reti. Good decision. No point risking it.
Good to see our defence tested a bit, now.
BFs doing a good job thus far; the Canadians gain few metres.
She is limping off the field. Looks like her ankle.
Edit: I shouldn't listen to the commentators. They now think she's still on the field.
What did the former BF/commentator say? Pickle juice (against cramp)? What the heck is that?
Edit: just googled it. It actually exists!
Holy moly what a run from Ayesha Leti-I’iga! Stopped just before the try line.
Try Chelsea Bremner.
Nobody can stop TUI!
What a try! Great break from Du Plessis, great pass to Tui, who steps the defender and outruns another.
Wow! Awesome!

Yeah like powerade on steroids. Strong stuff
Canada, like Australia earlier, guilty of poor execution when it really matters. Lineout gone to shit
Tui kicks the ball out and it's over. Much better game. Excellent win.
Still plenty to work on, but the improvements are visible.
FT: Black Ferns 28 - 0 Canada
That donut for Canada is significant.

Enjoyable watch.
Must admit, I don't have Saprk so haven't seen game. last weeks was FTA a couple of hours later. Pleased they went ok!
