Scotland have won four of their past seven matches in the Women's Six Nations (L3), as many as they'd won in their previous 63 matches in the Championship (D2 L57). Their last home win came by 26 points (36-10 v Ireland in 2023), their biggest victory in the tournament since 2003 (48-7 v Spain).

If Sean Lynn is to restore the feel-good factor to Welsh rugby with his winning pedigree, it will clearly take time. His tenure began with an opening round Women’s Six Nations defeat by a well-oiled Scotland side who were slicker in greasy conditions, but on this evidence there are greater days to come.

Ellie Kildunne marked her 50th cap by scoring a hat-trick of tries as England took another step towards retaining the Guinness Women's Six Nations title by crushing Wales 67-12 in Cardiff. The Red Roses full-back completed her treble in just eight second-half minutes as England cruised home at the Principality Stadium.
