A much-improved second-half performance by Ireland wasn’t enough to reel in Canada as the visitors showed why they are the number two ranked team in the world.

Two tries apiece from wingers Anna McGann and Béibhinn Parsons gave the home supporters something to shout about in the team’s final game on Irish soil before they leave for the Women’s Rugby World Cup next Friday.
