Julia Schell scores six tries in 23 second-half minutes as second seeds Canada get their Women's Rugby World Cup campaign off to a strong start against Fiji in York.

Julia Schell scored six tries Saturday as Canada hammered Fiji 65-7 for an emphatic opening win at the Women's Rugby World Cup in York, England.

Oak Bay High graduates Sophie de Goede and Caroline Crossley, along with former Castaway Wanderer Julia Schell, all made their presence felt in the dominant performance. De Goede, 26, steered Canada’s attack with four conversions and a try in her 35th international appearance, a fitting return after a 13-month recovery from a serious knee injury.
