England felled Scotland in devastating fashion to set up a grand slam decider against France in the Women’s Six Nations where the Red Roses will bid for their seventh successive title.
John Mitchell’s side played some of their best rugby this tournament in the first half by scoring six tries with no reply. The rampant display set up the possibility of a record score against Scotland, which stands at an 89-0 thrashing in the 2011 Six Nations, but they could not produce the same rapid fire scoring in the second half to write a new page in the history books. They did, however, seal the team’s 33rd consecutive win in the tournament with a 59-7 victory.
