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.
