The girls in gold, who’ve won all three rounds of the series so far, topped Pool A after beating France, Brazil and Russia.
Reigning champions New Zealand eased past Fiji, USA and Spain in Pool B while hosts Canada finished top of Pool C after beating Japan, Ireland and England. The Canadians also managed not to concede a single point over their three games, which will give them extra confidence going into day two.
Australia will now play Spain in the opening quarter-final on day two in Langford, with New Zealand facing Russia in the next decider. Canada will play France in the third quarter final of the day, with USA taking on England afterwards.
