England Women delivered a commanding performance against Scotland Women, winning 40-8 in their Women's World Cup clash at Ashton Gate. The home team started strong with early tries from Clifford, Talling, and Dow, showcasing their attacking prowess. Holly Aitchison was exceptional, converting all but one try and scoring a try herself. Scotland struggled to find rhythm, managing only a penalty from Nelson and a late try from Lloyd. England's substitutes maintained the pressure, with Cokayne adding to the score shortly after halftime. The English pack dominated set pieces, allowing their backs to exploit gaps in the Scottish defense. This match continued England's strong form following their previous victory over Scotland earlier in the year.
