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.
