Bryan Easson’s Scotland recorded a narrow victory against Wales in their opening fixture before impressing defensively in a 15-5 loss to France. Mitchell’s England have been aiming to play a more expansive game, so home defending will definitely need to be on point. “If we stick to the gameplan we want to play we have got nothing to worry about,” said Scotland’s full-back, Ellie Rollie, this week. Scotland have won two of their past three home matches, and belief won’t be an issue, but a powerful England team remain heavy favourites.

That’s a very impressive score By England. The Scottish defense was stretched to the breaking point as the Red Roses moved the ball quickly from left to right in their home 22. It looked like Kabeya was going to score a try with the open-side flanker as she darted towards the line, but she clinically overloaded Dow and finished smartly into the corner. It’s wonderful.
try! 11 minutes: Scotland 0-10 England (Dow)
Sensational handling, sensational try into Dow’s corner.
10 minutes: It’s all British. Aitchison hits a grubber kick for 22 points, and Kildon tries to collect. Scotland will hold on…
try! 7 minutes: Scotland 0-5 England (Cockayne)
England’s players are huddled together a few meters from Scotland’s try line. There was a gap in the hosts’ defensive line, opening up enough gaps for Cockayne to bundle up with a short carry. England players indulge in cockaignes as they celebrate. Aitchison missed the conversion, which makes sense considering the wind was blowing.
5 minutes: Muir’s stunning offload brings England into the Scotland 22 with Botterman, also in the front row. Scotland scramble again to clear the line. England immediately attacked down the right flank, forcing the hosts to defend further with their defensive lineouts.
4 minutes: Kabetani scored a powerful run from the base of the scrum and Scotland retreated down England’s left flank. However, Scotland’s defense was energetic and they brought down Kabeya before closing out the match.
2 minutes: Despite the weather, England established attacking continuity from the start. Aitchison kicked for a touch – it looked like he was going full out but England got a lineout anyway – and Aldcroft knocked on after the Red Roses had carried the ball from the right to the left.
First half kickoff!
