Edinburgh: A record crowd for a women’s sporting event in Scotland saw England storm to a 84-7 demolition of the hosts to maintain a perfect start to their Six Nations defence.
The world champions ran in 12 tries at Murrayfield on Saturday for a 35th consecutive Test victory in front of over 30,000 fans.
England showed no mercy as Ellie Kildunne and Sarah Bern each touched down twice for the Red Roses, while Meg Jones, Kelsey Clifford, Emma Sing, Amy Cokayne, Marlie Packer, Sadia Kabeya, Mia Venner and Haineala Lutui also scored tries.
Zoe Harrison added a further 24 points by slotting all 12 conversions.
Scotland’s only reply came through Rhona Lloyd as they failed to build on victory away to Wales on the opening weekend of the Six Nations.
John Mitchell’s side were missing 10 players due to injury or pregnancy but have shown no sign of letting go of their grip on the competition.
England have won every women’s Six Nations dating back to 2019.
The visitors had secured a bonus point inside 26 minutes as Kildunne brought up her 50th Test try with two early scores.
Lloyd raced away to put Scotland on the scoreboard and limit the damage to 35-7 at half-time.
But England’s strength in depth showed in the second half as they added seven more tries without reply to seal a second win of the championship following last weekend’s 33-12 success over Ireland.
