England Women's Rugby Head Coach Gary Street has today named his team for the final clash of the Nations Cup against hosts Canada tomorrow (Saturday), kick-off 10pm BST in Toronto.

England go into the game hoping to retain their 100 percent clean sheet in the tournament. With impressive wins over the USA, France and South Africa England secured the Nations Cup title on Wednesday evening, but Street is adamant his side must finish the tournament on a high.

Street, whose side have also won the RBS 6 Nations this season said: "This match is an opportunity for us to complete the job, a real challenge for us to play to the best of our abilities and complete an unbeaten tour. Canada will be a really tough test but we are confident in our own ability to make it a thrilling end to our tour."

England Captain Catherine Spencer added: "Although we are going into this last game top of the table having already won the tournament, we need to put a full 80 minute performance out against Canada. We have played patches of very good rugby over the last three games but we must complete the performance on Saturday. Canada are a tough side and playing them at home in the final stages of the competition means that we really need to be on top of our game."

The USA are also in action against France, kick-off 8pm BST. You can watch all the Nations Cup games on http://www.ustream.tv/channel/live-rugby
