CANADA 38-0 BRAZIL
Ashley Patzer (CAN)
On winning their final pool game:
"We didn't have such a good game against Spain so we just knew we had to come out strongly for this game. We did and we really played our hearts out and it feels really good to come out on top and reach our goal coming into the tournament."
On making it to the Cup quarter finals:
"Our big goal was to get to the semi final so we made it a bit harder for ourselves by losing to Spain but we can still do it and that is what we are gunning for."
SPAIN 19-12 THAILAND
Captain Raquel Socias (ESP)
On winning all three of their pool matches:
"It was our objective to win all our games but we were really concentrating on getting that second position. To finish up in top spot is really pleasing for us."
On Spain's chances of winning the tournament:
"We'll take it one step at a time. It looks like we'll play South Africa so we will rest up and prepare ourselves for that one."
On the efforts of Thailand:
"They move the ball very well, they find space and they have some quick runners."
CANADA 0-12 SPAIN

CANADA 52-7 THAILAND
Mandy Marchak (CAN)
On her team's first match at the tournament:
"Amazing. Everything we worked for came out. It was awesome."
On what worked well for them:
"Just keeping strong, just keeping our support lines - that seemed to be what worked for us today."
Captain Maria Gallo (CAN)
On her team's performance:
"It was amazing. It was totally what we wanted to do and show the fans what we can do. We think we got lucky with the draw in the pool, so we want to come out strong and obviously make it to the quarter finals and proceed from there."
On the difference between the teams:
"I think we had a lot of support and definitely our physical side. We are quite a lot larger and stronger than the Thailand women. So we use that up the middle of the field and that resulted in a lot of tries up the gut."
On how the team will manage their day:
"We have got our day drawn out minute by minute, so we are watched closely by the staff and we are going to take the shade whenever we can. Stay out of the sun and just focus one game at a time."
On the squad rotation in the tournament:
"We are probably going to get some fresh legs on there - try to make sure we get everybody to play in the pool rounds and then start focusing more on the rounds to come. I am sure our coach is going to use as many legs that she can."
