"Rhona Lloyd says there are positives to take from Scotland's 64-26 WXV defeat to Canada, but admits they were too easy to play against as the visitors ran in 10 tries. Lloyd was among the try-scorers as the Scots ran in four of their own, and the experienced winger believes there were opportunities missed that would have made the final scoreboard much closer. "We knew it was going to be a tough game, they were second in the world for a reason," Lloyd told BBC Scotland.
