Reigning champions England crushed Scotland 46-0 in the Women's Six Nations in Edinburgh on Saturday, scoring eight tries. The Red Roses turned professional significantly earlier than their European rivals and have since won all three of their opening matches to establish themselves as the dominant force in the Women's Six Nations. They won the championship five times in a row; the only thing stopping them from completing the Grand Slam every time was the format change in the Covid 2021 hit.

Saturday's result took their Six Nations winning streak to 27 in a row and came after equally convincing wins over Wales and Italy. Visitor Amy Cokayne opened the scoring in the sixth minute, who was subsequently sent off. Abby Dow and Ellie Kildunne scored for the visitors, who led 17-0 at halftime. After the break, Sadia Kabeya, Jess Breach and Kildunne again breached the Scotland line before captain Marlie Packer, who came off the bench, scored England's eighth try. 

The only setback for England came when Cokayne was substituted in the 54th minute for a second yellow card for a hard foul on Scotland's Lana Skeldon. We talk about having confidence and taking the handbrake off and trying to do that a little bit more every game. Now we're preparing for the big ones at the end of each game by unlocking new strengths and strategies."

Scotland finished sixth after three games, two wins and two losses. Bryan Easson, the Scotland coach, said: "England were outstanding." "They're going to put pressure on you as soon as you put the ball on their front foot. I'm just unhappy we didn't really shoot."
