TORONTO -- Canada has moved to an all-time high No. 2 in the world rankings after winning the Women's Rugby Super Series in Utah.

The Canadian women, ranked No. 4 going into the tournament, beat England 52-17, the U.S. 33-5 and defending Six Nations champion France 29-10.

The win over England was a measure of revenge for Canada, which lost 21-9 to the English in the 2014 Women's World Cup final

New Zealand remained No. 1 and England No. 3 in World Rugby's new rankings. France fell two spots to No. 4 while Ireland was unchanged at No. 5.

The rest of the top 10 was Australia, the U.S., Italy, Spain and Wales.
