MARCOUSSIS, France -- Canada remained undefeated at the 2014 IRB Womens Rugby World Cup after soundly defeating Samoa 42-7 on Tuesday. Brittany Waters scored two of Canadas six tries from the backline. Mandy Marchak, Elissa Alarie, Stephanie Bernier and Andrea Burk had the others as Canada earned a bonus point in the standings by scoring at least four tries. Magali Harvey, the leading scorer so far in France, converted five of the tries, with Burk capping the scoring by successfully converting her own. "Im happy about my performance today and scoring two tries, but my teams effort was what set the platform for them and I think the team effort is whats most important," Waters said. "I think its going to be a great game against England on Saturday. I think we improved on our first game and if we can continue to be strong in the breakdown against England we can be successful." Canada improved to 2-0 and is tied with England for first place in Pool A with 10 points. England and Canada meet Saturday. The three pool winners plus the top second-place team advance to the quarter-finals. "We reached our goal of securing a bonus point against a very strong and physical Samoan team, and Im proud of their effort and attitude today," said Canada coach Francois Ratier. "Now were going to de-brief from todays game and figure out exactly where we excelled and where we need to improve for our final pool game against England." Marchak opened the scoring in the 11th minute, touching down for a try after a strong run through two defenders. Harvey added the conversion to put Canada up 7-0. On the ensuing restart, a Samoan forward was shown a yellow card for an infringement in the ruck. Shortly after, Marchak made a break to get Canada inside Samoan territory and Canada eventually scored on Waters first try of the game. With Samoa back to a full strength, Canada continued to press on and were awarded with another try shortly after from fullback Alarie, who scooped up a loose ball and ran 30 metres over the try line. Harveys third conversion of the game increased the lead to 21-0. Alarie denied a late Samoan try with a tackle on the final play of the first half. Canada struck again with a try early in the second half. Burk started the play off with a 60 metre run before being tackled and the ball found its way to Bernier, who finished off the score. Harveys conversion put Canada up 28-0. Samoa got on the board at the 54th minute mark when replacement Ginia Muavae broke through Canadas defence. Thats as close as the Samoans would come, as Canada scored two late tries from Waters and Burk at the 67th and 80th mark respectively to seal a 42-7 victory.

"Doesnt matter where the fight ends up, Im pretty comfortable in all positions," she said. The 29-year-old from Port Colborne, Ont., who fights out of San Jose, looks to use all those tools Saturday against womens bantamweight (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey in the co-main event of UFC 175. Rousey (9-0) is the gold standard of womens MMA. An Olympic bronze medallist in judo, she has gone on to dominate the womens side of mixed martial arts in defending her 135-pound UFC title three times. As such, the bookmakers see Rousey as anywhere from a 9-1 to 17-1 favourite against Davis despite the fact both women are 3-0 in the UFC. Rousey tells a different story. "Shes the most well-rounded fighter Ive ever come up against," she said at a public workout Wednesday. "Ive always had someone whos predominantly a grappler or striker, who always had that weak area to bring them to. Alexis really doesnt have a weak area, so I just have to be better than her everywhere." Davis (16-5) has black belts in Brazilian and Japanese jiu-jitsu. And the scars around her eyes show she is not afraid to mix it up. While quiet by nature, Davis is savouring the buildup to the championship bout. "I feel like Im on a rush right now, kind of soaking everything, just enjoying myselff," she said.dddddddddddd She will have plenty of support from north of the border, with some 20 family and friends expected to fly down to Vegas. "Its incredible," she said. "Im just happy to have them watching on TV. For them to come out, its awesome that they support me." Her husband Flavio Ralf Meier doubles as her Brazilian jiu-jitsu coach, so hes already here. The two rolled together at a public workout Wednesday, bowing to each other as the workout ended. "It has its highs and its lows," a giggling Davis said of having her husband as a coach. "But were really good at being able to kind of separate what were doing -- inside the gym and home life. Because you kind of have that balance. Home is like your little sanctuary where you dont have to focus on the fight, youre more worried about whats going on with the kids (three boys from her husbands previous relationship). Its just all about relaxing. "But when were inside the gym, if you havent seen it, Im choking him just as hard as Im choking everybody else." As for the lopsided fight odds against Rousey, Davis is unconcerned. "I can see why Im the underdog," she said. "Obviously not only is she the champion and shes been so successful but every single fight shes had has been a finish. "I dont mind being the underdog ... Less pressure, let her have it all."
