Canada star Sophie de Goede locks herself over the ball to win a penalty. You don't shift her. Great touch found by Alex Tessier.

Watch that class score from Justine Pelletier.

At the moment Canada have all the flow. New Zealand need to stifle them, and actually they need possession now. Don't kick. Keep the ball in hand.
New Zealand 0-12 Canada

Great game, very exciting. The referee is letting the game flow. She's contributing to, what is at the moment, a really great game of rugby.

A brilliant counter-attack from Canada. Not the best kick from New Zealand, straight into the full-back's hands.

Braxton Sorensen-McGee kicks it straight down the throat of Julia Schell, who runs it back and makes good metres. Great run.
The ball then goes down again. It feels like this game will explode into life once the errors disappear.
New Zealand 0-12 Canada
The ball is intercepted and Kaipo Olsen-Baker charges away, but the resulting offloads don't go to hand. That is how quick New Zealand can turn it on.

The neutrals at Ashton Gate have turned as Canadian as a mountie drizzled in maple syrup.
Massive cheers as Asia Hogan-Rochester dusted Braxton Sorensen-McGee in the battle of the double barrels.

New Zealand finally get a chance in Canada's 22. A side entry into a ruck gifts Canada a penalty. You can sense the Black Ferns' frustration.

Twinkle toes they call her! Isn't that it?
Two tries. I don't know who'd have called this, but their smiling now the Canadians.
Asia Hogan-Rochester
Asia Hogan-Rochester is given a chance one-on-one and she does the rest with a big fend. Sophie de Goede pushes the extras wide.

Organised chaos! It might look like off-the-cuff play, but I bet you that was a planned move. When you've got an advantage, kick it over the top.

Pelletier has been hungry for that, hasn't she? A brilliant dummy and finish, she'll be doing that all day. She puts New Zealand on the back foot.
Justine Pelletier (con Sophie de Goede)
Lovely! Alysha Corrigan picks and offloads to Justine Pelletier, who dummies the final defender and goes over.
That was deserved.
Sophie de Goede, the goal-kicking lock we mentioned in the build-up, kicks the conversion.

Poor kick out on the full from Renee Holme. Big chance now for Canada in New Zealand's 22.

Nine times out of 10 Canada would get away with these offloads. But it's a different game against New Zealand.

Canada aren't hiding away. They're not going into their shell.
