England Women's Rugby team wins emphatically at Six Nations
England's Women's Rugby team, the Red Roses, secured a commanding 84-7 victory against Scotland at Murrayfield on April 18, 2026.
This match marked their 35th consecutive win, underscoring their dominance in women's rugby union.
The game was played in front of a record crowd of 30,498 spectators, the largest for a standalone women's sporting event in Scotland.
Despite significant squad challenges, including injuries and retirements, the team delivered a strong performance.
Several key players were unavailable: captain Zoe Stratford was absent due to pregnancy, while Emily Scarratt and Abby Dow had retired.
Injuries ruled out Natasha Hunt, Morwenna Talling, Hannah Botterman, May Campbell, and Tatyana Heard for the remainder of the tournament.
Alex Matthews was also sidelined with a shoulder injury.
Head coach John Mitchell acknowledged the depth challenges but praised the team's adaptability and resilience.
Captain Meg Jones, who scored one of the 12 tries, described the team as "relentless" and emphasized their focus on continuous improvement.
