The Aussies got off to the perfect start, with Evania Pelite palming off some Spanish defenders, to score almost immediately from Australia’s kick-off.
Charlotte Caslick heralded her return to the fold with her first try of the day, showing off some trademark footwork to cross under the posts.

Caslick finished off again two minutes later, after some clever work on the edge from Pelite, and by half-time they’d added two more, through Emilee Cherry and Emma Tonegato.
They were facing the sun in the second half, but that didn’t trouble Australia, with Demi Hayes streaking away down the sideline to score.
Spain broke their duck with Enara Cacho slipping out of Australia’s grasp in the 12th minute, but Australia soon had a reply, through Dom Du Toit.
A last-gasp try from Maria Losada gave Spain a consolation try 90 seconds after full-time, showing their grit, but it was too little, too late for an unlikely win.
Australia will play a quarter-final against the second-placed team in Pool A, most likely to be Fijiana, at 2:42am AEST on Monday.
7:52am - Australia 31 - Ireland 19
Australia sits clear on top of its Canada Sevens pool, with one match left on Sunday, after a 31-19 win over Ireland.
It took little time for Dom du Toit to score Australia’s first against the Irish and they had three in the first five minutes to open up a 17-point buffer
Emma Tonegato had a hand in two of the first three tries, sending the final pass into Emma Sykes’ hands of their second, before finishing one off herself.
Shannon Parry had time to score a fourth one for the Aussies before half-time, with Emma Sykes cleaning up a messy pass from Dominique Du Toit and finding Parry on the wing.
Ireland found some momentum in the second half, with their best attacking chance and a penalty gave Amee Leigh Murphy Crowe the chance to cross.
Stacey Flood combined with Murphy Crowe for Ireland’s second in a row, with Eve Higgins the eventual finisher of that duo’s hard work.
Tonegato snuffed out any chance of an Irish miracle, streaking away for her second of the match, before Murphy Crowe gave Ireland the final say.
Australia takes on Spain in the final round of pool matches, at 10:22am AEST.
4:57am - Australia 22 - Canada 7
Australia has cruised to an opening win at the Canada Sevens, getting the better of the hosts in the opener.
Emma Tonegato had a double for the game, opening the scoring, after a super run from Evania Pelite put the Aussies in a dangerous position
Australia looked like scoring again a minute later but some sloppy breakdown work gave Canada a turnover chance and the hosts put themselves in the driver’s seat.
Tonegato was taken down on the way to a possible try, as Canada began to take some control.
Australia’s defence kept Canada out and a quick tap on their own line gave Tonegato a chance to go end-to-end, with a 98-metre run for her second

Yasmin Meakes clinched Australia’s third in the ninth minute, grasping a high Charlotte Caslick pass to stretch their lead to 17 points, before Dom Du Toit added to the tally.
Canada’s Bianca Farella nabbed a consolation score in the final minute, but it was too little, too late for the North Americans.
