    Scotland 26-64 Canada

    A spirited display from Scotland, but they were outclassed by the World Cup finalists.

    Canada were ruthless!

    Gabrielle Senft

    Canada have had all the answers today!

    They go straight down the other end and it's pretty direct stuff into the heart of the Scottish defence. Number eight Gabrielle Senft is able to pick-and-go straight to the line under the posts.

    Rhona Lloyd

    Scotland may have been outgunned today, but they have displayed no shortage of heart.

    It's a magnificent try as Helen Nelson dinks a gorgeous little chip over the defence straight into the arms of Rhona Lloyd who supplies the finish.

    The home fans loved that one.

  6. Red card Canada: Brittany Kassilpublished at 66 mins

    The yellow card for Canada prop Brittany Kassil has been upgraded to a 20-minute red card.

    Justine Pelletier, con Claire Gallagher

    Canada do what they have been doing all game and hit straight back after the Scottish score.

    They turn on the power again and substitute Justine Pelletier is left with the simple task of dotting down from a yard out.

    Lana Skeldon, con Helen Nelson

    Scotland showing a bit of fight here.

    They make immediate use of the player advantage to pound at the Canada line until Lana Skeldon burrows over to touch down.

    Fair play to the Scots, they are not merely rolling over and accepting their fate here.

  9. Sin-bin Canada: Brittany Kassilpublished at 17:33 BST

    Scotland 12-45 Canada

    Brittany Kassil is pinged for a high shot on Meryl Smith and she will spend ten minutes in the sin bin.

    Olivia Apps, con Claire Gallagher

    This is starting to really get away from Scotland.

    The hosts have had to expend so much energy in defence and they are starting to look a little ragged.

    Scrum-half Olivia Apps exploits it by peeling off from a ruck, gives a clever wee show-and-go and streaks away to go in under the posts.

    Taylor Perry

    And that should be that.

    Canada generate quick ball from a lineout, go wide and then back again and fly-half Taylor Perry spots a gap and glides straight through untouched to go in under the sticks.

    You suspect it's damage limitation for Scotland now.

  12. Kick-offpublished at 17:12 BST

    Scotland 12-31 Canada

    Scotland fly-half Helen Nelson gets the second half under way.

  13. Half-time: Scotland 12-31 Canadapublished at 16:57 BST

    Helen Nelson boots the ball into touch and there goes the half-time whistle.

    Canada have shown why they are the third-ranked side in the world with five first-half tries, but Scotland have not thrown in the towel, responding with two tries of their own.

    The challenge is to stay in the game after the break.

  14. Disallowed trypublished at 39 mins

    Scotland 12-31 Canada

    Olivia Apps darts over for what would be her second try of the game, but after a look the TMO spots that the gap she broke through was created by some obstruction off the ball and the try is ruled out.

    Shona Campbell

    Something for the home crowd to cheer!

    It's brilliant work from the debutant Rhea Clarke who manages to strip opposite number Olivia Apps in contact.

    Clarke feeds Evie Gallagher who fends off a couple off tackles and pops inside to Shona Campbell to go over.

    Very nice try.

    Julia Omokhuale

    The power is just too much for Scotland to handle. They are desperately trying to defend their line but there's just too much heavy artillery coming their way and Julia Omokhuale crashes over for Canada's fifth try.

    Brittany Kassil, con Claire Gallagher

    The Scottish reprieve is only temporary and Canada are over again.

    This time it's prop Brittany Kassil who does the damage from close range and the Canadians are starting to move through the gears.

    Scotland 7-19 Canada

    Canada move the ball wide and despite some desperate defending from Chloe Rollie, Claire Gallagher pops the ball out the tackle for Charity Williams to dive over.

    However, the Television Match Official spots a knock-on a few phases prior and the try is ruled out.

    Lizzie Gibson, con Claire Gallagher

    And the response to the response is swift from Canada!

    Having scored the try, Scotland find themselves pinned back in their own 22 and again it's flanker Lizzie Gibson hanging around out in the backs waiting for moment to cut through to score her second try.

    Evie Gallagher, con Helen Nelson

    That's a great response from the Scots.

    They get themselves within striking distance and batter at the Canada line. Eventually it's Evie Gallagher, in her first Scotland appearance since last year's World Cup, who ploughs over.

    Good conversion from Helen Nelson and Scotland are back within five.
