752 Another misstep by Canada as the restart goes directly into touch. Scrum to USA on the 50m.
753 Messy play here by both teams, about 4 knock-ons? USA did the first knock, so its a scrum to Canada on the 30m line in USA territory.

815 Don’t forget that we are taping this match and we will post it here on the blog in a few hours. It takes some time to upload and get it formatted correctly. We finally figured out the UK compression restrictions, so it should be faster this time! To watch the USA vs Ireland video go here.
816 Heather Moyse from Canada was just carted past us and it looks like a right ankle injury. She is not in a cast or splint yet, but she doesn’t look happy.

847 Penalty to US on our 22m, Canada not rolling away. Christy boots it to the 50m, lineout to US. Spoiled by Canada again, our long throw is just not there.
849 Scrum to Canada and their scrumhalf snuck past us…Canada driving, they are on our 22m line.
850 Canada is able to get around us on the outside but the ref had blown the whistle. The crowd is so loud here the players can’t hear the whistle! Canadian player is down again.
853 Canada has used 5 subs and USA has used 3…
854 USA Sub Natalie Marchino leaves the pitch and Vix comes in. 9mins on the big clock, but there will surely be injury time.

Hi Wendy,
Great video! One question: do either of the US matches have sound? I can’t hear anything on the Canada or the Ireland matches that have been uploaded to Vimeo. I can hear sound on the video clips that are on facebook. Any ideas?
Thank you so much for uploading these!
Typically the videos I upload on Vimeo don’t have sound. The ones on Facebook were just to get some clips up bc I was having so many problems with the UK compression restrictions. I don’t usually do sound because typically I am sitting near coaches, selectors and evaluators and they don’t want their comments heard.
Thanks for watching and reading!
Wendy
Okay, thanks. Makes sense, but is definitely very strange to be watching rugby without any sound!
