The Canadian women ran into a buzz saw in Fiji at the Rugby World Cup Sevens on Sunday, losing 53-0 to finish sixth in the 16-team field.
Fifth-seeded Canada trailed 34-0 at the half as No. 6 Fiji, claiming one restart after another, ran in six of its nine tries before the break.
Fiji retained the opening kickoff and pulled into a 10-0 lead on tries by Reapi Ulunisau and Alowesi Nakoci in the first two minutes.
The Fijians breached the Canadian defence again as Ana Maria Naimasi fended off Florence Symonds to extend the lead to 15-0 after four minutes.
