Outside back Francesca McGhie scored after just three minutes to give Scotland an early lead in their 13-19 win over Japan, with clubmates Leah Bartlett and Eva Donaldson also featuring for the Scots in the victory.
Lock Catha Jacobs came off the bench for South Africa in their narrow, 26-33, defeat to Australia and American trio Tahlia Brody, Keia Mae Sagapolu and Tess Feury all featured for the USA in their 14-22 loss to France.
Leicester duo Claire Gallagher and Julia Omokhuale started and scored superb tries for Canada, with fly-half Gallagher named the Player of the Match, in a convincing 21-8 win over Ireland.
