Canada, New Zealand book quarterfinals at Women’s Rugby Cup
Third-ranked Canada conceded a try in less than 30 seconds but rallied to beat Italy 22-12 Sunday in a Group B match at the Women’s Rugby World Cup, sealing a quarterfinal place.
New Zealand also qualified for the quarterfinals with a 56-12 win later Sunday over Wales. Fiji beat South Africa 21-17 in the final match of the day. Tuttosi, who scored three tries in Canada’s first-up win over Japan, added two more from powerful lineout drives as Canada took control of the match. Her first contributed to a 12-5 halftime lead and her second came after a brilliant try to Sara Kaljuvee and gave Canada a 22-5 lead after 56 minutes.
Canada now has two wins from two matches and will progress to the final eight. Italy and the United States have one win each from two matches in Group B while Japan has had two losses. There still were some concerns for New Zealand fans. It took the Black Ferns 18 minutes to score their first points and they then scored four tries in 10 minutes. New Zealand had a lull in the last 10 minutes of the first half during which Wales scored its first try through Ffion Lewis to make the score 22-7 at halftime.
But Fiji surged onto attack from the kickoff and Naisewa moved through the South Africa defense close to the line to give Fiji a win in only its second World Cup match.
