Kildunne Hat Trick Seals England Victory Over France

A record crowd of 30,498 at Murrayfield witnessed England's dominant 12-try performance against Scotland in the Women's Six Nations. The Red Roses, despite missing 13 Rugby World Cup winners through retirement, injury or pregnancy, showed their depth with a comprehensive victory.

Ellie Kildunne scored two tries, including her 50th for England, while Maddie Feaunati was named player of the match. Scotland's defence was poor, missing 52 tackles with a 59% completion rate, and they committed 13 handling errors.

Scotland's only points came from Rhona Lloyd's try, converted by Helen Nelson. Sarah Bern scored two tries, adding to her brace from the previous match against Ireland. Debutant Demelza Short, 19, played well at blindside flanker.
