 PNG Women Overcome Early Scare To Beat Canada The second game of the Women´s World Cup pitched Papua New Guinea against Canada with PNG the clear favourites with the bookies, Canada given a twenty-four point start on the coupon. But the Ravens were very much an unknown quantity on the international stage and had a side made up of experienced rugby union players.
PNG are world ranked fourth, while Canada are currently ranked in sixth place. The two sides met at the 2017 World Cup when Canada won by 22-8 in Sydney, however very few players who experienced that game were on show this evening at Emerald Headingley Stadium.
It promised to be a little closer than England´s big win over Brazil in the first match of the double header.
