Scotland head coach Bryan Easson: “Frustration, but pride as well.
“The second best team in the world and we went toe-to-toe with them, scored three tries, put them under a serious amount of pressure.
“But the thing for me is when you’re playing against the best in the world, you give two or three opportunities or a couple of little bits of ill-discipline, they turn the screw, don’t they? And that’s probably the difference.
“I didn’t think 21 points was a fair reflection of the game. I thought it was closer than that. But it shows we’re closing the gap.”
Canada hooker and player of the match Emily Tuttosi: “It’s really a blessing to be back on my home club ground and grateful for the outcome today.
“Hard-fought win. This wind makes it a tale of two halves and there was good rugby played by both sides.
“We knew coming into the tournament that we wanted to make it out of Pool play. Hopefully a good week of prep for some exciting knockouts.”
