Canada defeated Scotland 64-26 in the WXV Series opener in Edinburgh, scoring 10 tries to Scotland's four. The 2025 World Cup runners-up dominated from the start, with Lizzie Gibson scoring twice early and Olivia Apps adding a second try before halftime. Scotland replied through Evie Gallagher, Shona Campbell, and Lana Skeldon, but Canada's attacking depth proved overwhelming.

Brittanny Kassil and Julia Omokhuale scored quickly after the break, and Taylor Perry extended the lead early in the second half. Substitutes Justine Pelletier and Savannah Bauder added late tries to seal the victory. Helen Nelson kicked three conversions for Scotland, while Canada's Gallagher landed seven.

Scotland face New Zealand next Saturday at Hive Stadium, while Canada meet England at Sandy Park in a rematch of last year's World Cup final.
