"The 30,498 crowd was a record attendance for a women's solo sporting event in Scotland and they were largely silenced. Scotland were sloppy, conceding the most points against England since 2011."
"England should be struggling on pitch with 13 of their Rugby World Cup-winning squad missing through retirement, injury and pregnancies but the Red Roses are demonstrating their endless pool of talent."
"Maddie Feaunati was key in Ellie Kildunne's opening try with a great line break. She also came up with a maul turnover and was the physical punch the Red Roses needed."
"Scotland were shaky in defence and failed to capitalise on the front-foot ball they created but an area they were able to disrupt their opponents was at the scrum."
Scotland women's rugby team faced England in their first standalone game at Murrayfield, attracting a record crowd of 30,498. England, despite missing 13 players from their World Cup-winning squad, delivered a strong performance, winning 84-7. Scotland struggled defensively and failed to capitalize on opportunities, conceding the most points to England since 2011. Notable performances included 19-year-old Demelza Short and player of the match Maddie Feaunati. Scotland showed some strength in the scrum but overall lacked sharpness ahead of their next match against Italy.
