Team GB win Pool C after overcoming Canada 22-0 in Rio
Alice Richardson and Amy Wilson Hardy both dotted down to give the girls a 10-0 lead at the interval
A brace from captain Emily Scarratt secured the win after the restart
Team GB women have topped Pool C after they outclassed Canada in what was their best performance yet in Rio.
Both Canada and Great Britain racked up a number of tries in their opening two games of Pool C but it was Team GB who continued to impress when they clashed on Sunday.
After a tight and tense opening, Team GB opened the scoring through Alice Richardson before Amy Wilson Hardy dotted down a sensational 80m+ try after the hooter to give her side a commanding lead, 10-0.
Indiscipline saw both teams down to six players. However, despite the numerical disadvantage, GB extended their lead with Emily Scarratt running in a superb brace to secure the win.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
