Scotland battled well in a competitive game and were rewarded with some luck just before half time when the ball re-bounded off the posts and was caught and converted into a try. The subsequent conversion was successful making the score at half time twelve points to seven to England.

England came out strongly at the beginning of the second half and responded well to the Scottish pressure forcing a penalty, which Rae converted in the fiftieth minute. Ten minutes from time Nicki Jupp sealed the victory when she went over for try.

Nicky Crawford continued her International career with her 50th cap and was denied making it fifty tries on the same day in the second half.

England now have maximum points from two games and remain top of the Six Nations table. Theyl play their next game at the home of England rugby, Twickenham on the 6th March at 1pm
