The Canadian women's rugby sevens team faced a familiar foe in the Cup final of the World Rugby Sydney Sevens on Sunday.

Unfortunately for Canada, the result was the same as it was the last two times they met New Zealand in a Cup final this season, falling to the Black Ferns by a score of 33-7.

Tyla Nathan-Wong struck first for New Zealand, notching a try in the fifth minute. Canada's Charity Williams replied two minutes later to bring Canada level heading into the second half.

That's when the Black Ferns took over, as Gayle Broughton, Niall Williams, Theresa Fitzpatrick and Alena Sialliand combined for four unanswered tries for their fourth Cup final win this season.
