PENALTY CANADA. Just on the stroke of half-time Canada get their first points on the board through the boot of Magali Harvey. A good way for them to go into the break, after taking a bit of beating for most of the half they will be happy to just trail by 8. At half-time England lead by 11-3.

Canada not prepared to lie down as Mandy Marchak makes a break deep into the 22 right as we approach half-time.

can't believe we can't watch this any where in Weymouth!

TRY ENGLAND! It's been coming for a while and eventually it's full-back Danielle Waterman who touched down in the right corner. Some powerful carrying set England going on the front foot and then forward and backs combined brilliantly, fixing their opponents and making the most of their overlaps. Veteran Margaret Alphonsi gave the final pass and Waterman went in untouched. Scarratt has her first miss of the day with a tough kick, 11-0 her side leads however.

come on England, do us proud.

Decent scrum set-piece from Canada on half-way sees them make a half-break but they can't hold onto the ball and it goes forward.

PENALTY ENGLAND. Scarratt doubles her tally and the lead as England continue to threaten. It could of been worse for Canada as a break from Marlie Packer stretched their defence, they will be somewhat relieved it was only 3 points. 6-0 the score.
