England comfortably superior but harsh for the Scots to only register 5 pts. They were a lot better than that .
2nd half meandered a bit and England did make a number of errors. Still, they've got so much firepower and so many options they can afford the odd off key period.

That England team are seriously strong. Maybe the coach would like a crack at the boys some time....?

This is going to be cruel. Good that we're doing some rotation, but still far too strong for Italy.

The other countries are going to have to fund their womens game if they want to be competitive.
Right now, England are simply far too good.
Maybe France will provide a sterner test in the final game.

Enjoying the Women's tournament more than the mens this year, despite many of the fixtures being uncompetitive. Wales v Scotland was really entertaining

Interesting that Hunt's made it onto the bench for what's looking to be a much closer to first XV side.
Our back three options are just ridiculous. Just the fact that we can consider benching Kildunne (even for a rotated side) is ridiculous.

Abbie Dow looks like she has a bad leg injury. The oppo asked the ref to stop play which is always a bad sign.

I always smile to Sarah Hunter's grin. You just know she just loves playing rugby.

Yep. She’s a class act. I’ve more time for any of the Roses capts than their male equivalents since… well, it’s been a while.

What a mail and then great finish for Breach!
Great to say Wales making a fist of this even if they're being overpowered. England will be grateful for being tested.
