England break Canada in dominant second-half display
By PA
England scored 31 second-half points without reply en route to a 51-12 victory over Canada at Twickenham Stoop.
England, who have now won 17 successive matches having already claimed back-to-back Autumn Series victories over New Zealand, drew first blood through Heather Cowell who crossed the whitewash on her debut four minutes into the encounter.
The visitors scored tries through Paige Farries and Sabrina Poulin either side of Sarah Bern’s superb effort for England but Cowell grabbed her second just before the break to make it 20-12 to the hosts at half-time.
It was all one-way traffic after the break, however, as England proved too strong for a nation ranked third in the world – two below the Red Roses.
Tries from Bern, Alex Matthews and a double from Claudia MacDonald ensured an impressive victory for Simon Middleton’s in-form hosts.

I thought you meant in europe. Because all of the reasons theyre different I wouldn't correlate that to mean for europe, as in french broadcasters pay two or three times as much as the UK or SA broadcasters do, like they do for their league.
With France, it's not just about viewers, they are also paying much more. So no doubt there will be a hit (to the amount the French teams receive for only playing a fraction of it) but they may not care too much as long as the big clubs, the top 8 for example, enter the meaty end, and it wouldn't have the same value to them as the top14 contract/compensation does. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the 3 separate networks broadcast deals only went to the clubs in their regions as well (that's how SR ended up (unbalanced) I believe).
