Kicked the penalty early. Some good work distributing under pressure; but ultimately swamped .. like the rest of the team.

Energetic. Good tackling.Tried to provide punch from the base but service and possession issues made things difficult.

Massive in defence, scrummaging against a step up in power wasn’t up to the same high standard it has been all tournament.

Line-outs were problematic (throws often missed), though she made some good defensive contributions.

For a late call-up, she slipped back into the Scotland front-row well. Fought hard but was overpowered by England.

Experienced presence; tackled well; worked hard in the tight; lacked sustained ball-carrying relief.

Some good set-piece work; made some defensive gains; but England’s line-outs often put Scotland under pressure.

Big defensive shift. Inspiring work-rate and leadership under pressure.

Not as big an impact as previous weeks.

Relentless. Ended her career the way she has performed the entire way through.

 

Special mention of her off the pitch support from the bench: loudest voice in the stadium for all four games. Brought fresh ideas and legs to the second half.

Level-headed under pressure. Limited impact; not enough ball and England closing space well.

Brought strong physicality and scrummaging solidity in her portion of play.

Solid in tackles; less opportunity to influence attack.

Big defensive impact. Fresh energy when needed. Solid in close quarters, supported the breakdown well and maintained her defensive discipline

Clean in tackle areas and supportive in rucks. Support running was unbelievable, continued the last-minute attack by McGhie.

Maintained the tempo set by Brebner-Holden. Tried but couldn’t inject too much energy.

Brought on fresh energy and legs, kept the team motivated in crucial points.
