England, ranked as the world number one going into the match,

\nplayed in front of a record-breaking home crowd of 81,885 at the
\nAllianz Stadium in Twickenham, west London.<\/p>\n

Canada mounted a spirited effort in the second half, but a
\ndecent spell of pressure was cut off when Matthews scored her
\nsecond try of the afternoon.<\/p>\n

A conversion took the Red Roses to 33 points, giving them a
\ncomfortable 20 point lead over the Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n
