The Aussie Women have started Day 2 with a win, to ensure they qualified for the semi-finals. While the Aussie Men were overpowered by an impressive USA, losing 43-7 to be knocked out of the semi-final race.
The second session for the women was very disappointing with Canada knocking out the Aussie women in the Semi Final, as they did last weekend in Hamilton
