Just watched the replay, Canada were super impressive. Their 9 is brilliant. Could be an epic final if they can play as well against England (assuming the Red Roses beat France tonight).

They did but they're going to have to be a whole lot better to beat Canada.

I see that Canada are still amateurs, why are they so successful? It's quite an aberration compared to the men's.

they are not really amatuers. I think its more they don't have a professional club competiton? Heaps of their players play in the UK.

They have a strong link between 7s and 15s - something I reckon will happen soon enough over here.

They have a very strong university program too apparently.

Mens and Womens university sport program need to have the same amount of funding in Canada, however there are a lot less sports for women being offered. Thus Womens university rugby is getting more funding.

Good to see the SRW Champions fixture retained, hopefully more TT content to follow sooner rather than later.
