Canada defeats Kazakhstan for second win at Women's Rugby World Cup

Heather Moyse scored four tries as Canada trounced Kazakhstan 44-5 Friday at the Women's Rugby World Cup.

The win improved Canada's record to 2-1, but the Canadian women had to wait for later results Friday to find out whether they would advance to the semifinals.

Canada had needed to secure five points from the game: four for the win and a bonus point for scoring more than four tries. It did that, but needed help from other teams to advance.

Katie Murray, Rania Burns and Julia Suguwara also scored tries for Canada.
