England's Red Roses crushed Scotland 84‑7[1] at Murrayfield, scoring twelve tries[2] before a record 30,498 fans[3] on April 18, 2026[5].
The victory matters because it solidifies England's path to another Six Nations crown and highlights Scotland's defensive frailties, which have produced the highest points conceded in the tournament’s history[4].
From the opening whistle, England pressed forward, crossing the try line within minutes and never looking back—centre Kildunne was instrumental, breaking tackles and finishing a decisive try in the first half[2].
The 30,498 spectators represent a record attendance for a women's solo sporting event in Scotland[4], surpassing previous benchmarks and underscoring growing interest in women’s rugby across the nation.
With the win, England remains unbeaten and sits atop the Six Nations table, while Scotland must regroup ahead of their next fixtures to avoid a repeat of the 84‑7 drubbing[1].
**What this means**
England’s emphatic performance not only strengthens their title bid but also signals a rising commercial appeal for women’s rugby in Scotland, where record crowds could translate into increased investment, better facilities, and more robust development pathways for future talent.
