Canadian Women Defeat Ireland 21-8 in WXV Tournament

The Canadian women's rugby team secured a decisive 21-8 victory over Ireland at the WXV 1 tournament, improving their record to 2-0. Canada scored three tries, with Clair Gallagher and Julia Omokhuale contributing to a 21-3 halftime lead, while Ireland's Eimear Considine scored the only try in the second half. Despite having 52% possession, Ireland struggled to generate offense against a strong Canadian defense. This win follows Canada's earlier triumph over France and sets them up for their next match against England on October 12. Ireland, having pulled off an upset against world champions New Zealand in their opening game, faces the USA next. The Canadian team continues to build momentum, extending their winning streak to six matches.
