The team overcame injuries to key players, including Alex Matthews, and made five changes to the starting lineup. The Red Roses dominated the match, scoring five tries in the first half and seven in the second. Mitchell attributed the team's success to their courage and adaptability, saying they have embraced a new style of play.
The win showcased the team's depth and talent, with young players like Maddie Feaunati making a strong impression. Former Scotland international Jade Konkel noted that Scotland's lack of depth was a significant factor in their loss, with the team struggling to compete with England's strong lineup.
