England Crush Scotland 46-0, Extend Six Nations Winning Streak

Reigning champions England continued their dominance in the Women’s Six Nations, crushing Scotland 46-0 in Edinburgh on Saturday. The Red Roses, who have now won all three of their opening matches, extended their winning streak to 27 straight Six Nations games.

England’s dominance was evident from the outset, with Amy Cokayne opening the scoring in the sixth minute. Abby Dow and Ellie Kildunne added further tries before halftime, giving England a commanding 17-0 lead.

The floodgates opened after the break, with Sadia Kabeya, Jess Breach, and Kildunne again crossing Scotland’s line. Squad captain Marlie Packer came off the bench to score England’s eighth try, completing the rout.

The only blemish on England’s performance was the sending off of Cokayne in the 54th minute for a high tackle on Scotland’s Lana Skeldon.

“I feel today was a team performance, we got the space on the edge because of the girls working in the middle,” said player-of-the-match Kildunne. “Hats off to the team.”

Scotland coach Bryan Easson acknowledged England’s superiority. “England were outstanding,” he said. “Once you give them ball on the front foot they will put you under pressure. We didn’t really fire a shot and I’m disappointed with that.”

England’s victory extends their dominance in the Women’s Six Nations. They have won the competition for five successive years, and their only setback in that time was a change in format in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Red Roses’ success is attributed to their early adoption of professionalism, which has given them a significant advantage over their European rivals. They have a full-time training program and access to world-class facilities, which has allowed them to develop a deep pool of talented players.

England’s next challenge will be a clash with France, who are also unbeaten in the tournament. The match will be a crucial test for both teams, and could determine the eventual winner of the Six Nations.
