Women’s rugby international at Lasswade
Scotland's Tanya Griffith keeps a tight hold on England full back Kay Wilson. Scotland Women showed marked improvement at Lasswade on Sunday under the Hawthornden floodlights, posting their best result against England Women since 2008.Though losing 47-0 to a highly experienced England side, fresh from a double victory over RWC holders New Zealand, there were plenty of positives to take from a plucky performance.� Although the final score was 47-0 to England, Scotland should take plenty of heart from a performance vastly improved from the same fixture last year, and the previous year, with a young developing squad who are clearly fitter, faster and more prepared for the challenge.
Scotland Women showed marked improvement when they played England at Lasswade on Sunday – according to Scottish Rugby.
Though losing 47-0 to a highly-experienced England side, fresh from a double victory over RWC holders New Zealand, there were plenty of positives to take from a plucky performance, said the organisation’s website.
Head coach Karen Findlay added: “We’re significantly fitter than we were 12 months ago, we’ve got depth now in our front five, we were still running hard at 80 minutes and still playing rugby which, for me, were massive positives.”
