Ireland brought down to earth by Canada in second WXV1 match
By PA
Ireland has gone down to host team Canada 21-8 in Vancouver in their second match of the WXV1 tournament.
Despite a hearty performance, Ireland fell far short of a win after beating world champions New Zealand in their opening game.
The Maple Leafs managed a 21-3 half-time lead thanks to a penalty try and scores from Claire Gallagher and Julia Omokbuale.
Ireland’s Eimear Considine scored the only try for the second half.
The win for Canada means the North American squad has won two for two in the competition, extending their winning streak to six games in a row.
Canada scored seven tries in their win against France in their first match.
Next up, they will face England in their final showdown of the competition.
Ireland’s final match will be on Friday against the USA.

"Shrewd move" to find a replacement for Cole. Are you joking! Only Borthwick could fail to find the obvious.

The team is then run by committee of 3 or is it 4 vice captains .
England keep losing in the last quarter .
Doesn't the problem shout out that we need a captain who can last a full game .
