Overview

  • Hooker Emily Tuttosi scored twice at Sandy Park and was named player of the match.
  • Canada’s forwards controlled the contest, with five tries from front‑rowers and a penalty try awarded after Evie Gallagher’s yellow card for a cynical breakdown infringement.
  • Tyson Beukeboom earned her 81st cap to become Canada’s record appearance-maker.
  • Scotland enjoyed long spells of possession and crossed through Rhona Lloyd, Evie Gallagher and Fran McGhie, but errors and indiscipline undercut their pressure.
  • Canada advances unbeaten to face the Pool A runner-up once results are confirmed, while Scotland is set for a likely quarter-final against England depending on later Pool A outcomes.
