Canada beats U.S. 15-9 in first international women’s test rugby in nearly two years
Canada marked its return to international women’s test rugby with a hard-fought 15-9 victory over the U.S. on Monday.
Trailing 15-9 in the final 10 minutes, the U.S. got good field position after Canadian fly half Alex Tessier was judged to have kicked the ball directly into touch from outside of her 22-metre line. The Americans attacked from the ensuing lineout and got the ball over the try-line but the Canadians managed to prevent it being grounded.
The Canadian women play the U.S. again Friday at the same venue before heading to Britain to face No. 1 England at Twickenham Stoop in London on Nov. 14 and No. 11 Wales on Nov. 21 at Cardiff Arms Park. Canada survived an early U.S. onslaught and made it within five metres of the U.S. try-line, only to see the attack end in a handling error.
