Canada's Rugby World Cup campaign ended in disappointment Saturday, beaten 36-0 by France in the bronze-medal match.
The fourth-ranked French were better in just about every phase, outkicking, outrunning and outhitting the third-ranked Canadian women, who perhaps left their 'A' game in last weekend's gritty semifinal loss to top-ranked England.
The bronze-medal win will move France past Canada into third place in the world rankings. New Zealand needed to win by more than 15 points to return to the top of the rankings The Canadians had a territorial edge in the second half but often shot themselves in the foot with handling errors when they did make ground.
Canada came into the third-place match with a 7-8-0 record against the French but had won the previous four meetings. France's last win over the Canadian women came in 2013, a 27-19 decision on home turf in Pontarlier. After spending much of the half playing defence, the Canadians attacked late in the half only to be penalized for not releasing the ball in the tackle.
