The Canadian women won't have the easiest of roads when they take part in next year's Rugby World Cup after a draw Wednesday in Belfast, Ireland revealed the three pools for the 12-team tournament.
Canada will be in Pool A with New Zealand, the four-time champion which failed to advance from its pool in France two years ago, Wales, and the Asia-Oceania qualifying runner-up.
The Canadians finished as runner-ups to England at the 2014 World Cup.
England was drawn with inaugural champion the United States, Italy, and a European qualifier. Scotland and Spain meet in Glasgow and Madrid this month to fill the fourth and last vacancy in Pool B.
Pool C featured host Ireland, Australia, France, and the winner between Fiji, Hong Kong, and Japan.
The tournament runs from Aug. 9-26 in Ireland. The pool games will be in Dublin, and the playoff matches in Belfast.
