Canada defeated Fiji in the 5th place semi-final but lost to Japan in the 5th place final to finish 6th at the tournament. The two 6th place finishes have put them in 7th place overall in the standings. Canada have lost to Japan all three times so far this season which is a concern. Japan currently sit in 3rd place and are the surprise team of the season. Australia and NZ have already distanced themselves from the pack as the top two teams in the women’s division.

The pools for the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia have been announced and Canada are in Pool C with Argentina, Fiji and Spain. The format is the top 2 teams from each of the 6 pools move to the next round, along with the 4 best 3rd place finishers, for a round of 16.
