“We really had to weather that first half and then pick up the tempo in the second half,” de Goede said. “I’m really proud of the way we did that.” Canada now flies Down Under to face No. 5 Australia on May 11 in Sydney before heading to Christchurch to take on No. 2 New Zealand on May 19. Sunday’s outing was for the first for the Canadians since November, when they finished runner-up to No. 1 England at the WXV 1.
Canada went ahead 5-0 in the fifth minute with Gallagher going over in the final phase of an attack that was launched off a rolling maul from a lineout. The Canadians did it again, with Beukeboom scoring off a fast-moving maul four minutes later. De Goede carved through the U.S. defence in the 48th and 55th minutes to pad the lead. Gallagher added her second in the 70th taking a pass from Fancy Bermudez in the tackle.
