England Devastates Scotland 84-7 in Women's Six Nations Record-Breaking Victory
England's women's rugby team delivered a clinical performance, scoring 12 tries in an 84-7 demolition of Scotland at Twickenham, posting the highest score in the tournament's history.

England's women's rugby team delivered a masterclass at Twickenham Stadium on Friday, dismantling Scotland 84-7 in a Women's Six Nations match that saw the hosts score 12 tries and rewrite the record books.

Watch the highlights:

The victory marks England's highest-ever score in the Women's Six Nations, eclipsing their previous best of 76 points. The margin of victory also represents the largest ever recorded in the tournament's history, underscoring the gulf in class between the two nations on this occasion.

Scotland fought valiantly and managed to cross for a try through hooker Lana Montgomery in the 52nd minute, giving the visiting side something to celebrate on an otherwise difficult afternoon. However, England's relentless attacking play and defensive pressure proved too much for the Scots to handle throughout the 80 minutes.

Head coach Karen Malin praised her side's execution and intensity from the opening whistle. "The players came out with a clear mindset today. We wanted to play fast, play accurate, and put pressure on Scotland from the start. Twelve tries speaks to the quality of our attack, but it's also a testament to our work rate off the ball," Malin said in her post-match press conference.

England's pack dominated the breakdown, winning several crucial turnovers that allowed quick ball for their dangerous backline. The team's communication and cohesion were evident in their structured play, with every player contributing to what was a complete team performance.

With this comprehensive victory, England solidifies their position at the top of the Women's Six Nations table with maximum points from two matches. The team will now shift focus to preparing for their upcoming fixture against Wales, where they will look to maintain this momentum and continue their unbeaten run in the tournament.
