England women's head coach John Mitchell praised his team's 84-7 win over Scotland, describing it as a 'special' performance despite a challenging week. The team had to overcome injuries to key players, including Alex Matthews, and adapt to changes in the starting lineup. Mitchell noted that the win showcased the team's 'courage' and ability to adapt to adversity. England's dominant display was marked by 12 tries, including five in the first half and seven in the second.
The team's depth and talent were on full display, with younger players making significant contributions. Mitchell highlighted the team's focus on playing an 'authentic' game, allowing each player to showcase their unique skills. In contrast, Scotland struggled with depth and consistency, with former Scotland international Jade Konkel noting that the team's lack of depth and poor performance were major factors in the loss.
