Team Canada gathered their 2nd shutout of the Women's Rugby World Cup with a 15-0 victory over Wales.

Canada, ranked third in the world, is hoping to improve on its second-place showing at the last World Cup in 2014, when it lost to England in the final.

The Canadians controlled the game against 10th-ranked Wales, taking possession over 70 per cent of the match.

Canada had 112 carries over gainline compared to just 30 for Wales.

The Canadian squad opened Pool A play at the World Cup with a 98-0 rout of Hong Kong earlier this week.
