England's Red Roses delivered a masterclass in power and precision, scoring twelve tries in a dominant 84-0 victory over Scotland at Murrayfield. The win keeps England firmly on track for an eighth consecutive Women's Six Nations title, showcasing the relentless form that has now stretched their incredible winning streak to 35 Tests.
The historic afternoon in Edinburgh saw a record crowd of over 30,000—the largest for a standalone women's sporting event in Scotland—but it was the visitors who authored the story. After weathering an early Scottish surge, England shifted through the gears with clinical efficiency.
Ellie Kildunne, deployed on the wing, was electric, crossing for two first-half tries. Captain Meg Jones also dotted down, with further scores from Kelsey Clifford and Emma Sing building a commanding lead. Scotland's lone highlight was a brilliant try finished by Rhona Lloyd, sending a roar through the Murrayfield stands, but it proved a brief respite.
The second half was a relentless display of England's depth and power. Hooker Amy Cokayne powered over from a maul, and replacement prop Sarah Bern bulldozed her way to a brace. Former captain Marlie Packer, Sadia Kabeya, Mia Venner, and Haineala Lutui all added their names to the scoresheet, underlining the team's formidable attacking arsenal.
While Scotland celebrated a milestone for women's sport with the record attendance, England's performance was a stark reminder of their championship pedigree. The Red Roses have laid down a formidable marker as they continue their pursuit of another Grand Slam.
