"In the last four weeks we have been able to have camps during the week, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and be able to rest them. We don't have to play on a Saturday and bring them back on a Sunday because they have to go to work on a Monday. "Clearly as coaches we want to see the performances grow in the field. We will be under pressure at times because we are playing the best team in the world. Scotland may not have beaten England since 1999 and start the game at 100-1 to win or even draw it, but the head coach, Bryan Easson, at last has a professional set-up to work with and is championing McGhie's raw, bold approach, perhaps as an inspiration for his side. They make plenty of ground but the debutant McGhie makes a solid tackle and Scotland's defence eventually brings them the penalty to relieve the siege when Cleall doesn't roll away quickly enough. But the runs of both wings, the bosh of Kabeya and Packer and the pace of the passing in attack have torn the Scots' defence apart. Barely a minute after Orr was held up a metre short, England scored and it almost happened again after McGhie's close effort but Scotland manage to hold on until the whistle goes when Aitchison's crossfield bomb, looking for Breach, sails out of play. Dow knocks on Hunter's kick and from the back of the scrum, Orr makes a fantastic run after Smith's penetrating diagonal burst with a turn of speed. England manage to withstand a rapid Scotland counter-attack. Amy Cokayne bulldozes through from a metre on the right touchline. Scotland, committing two tacklers to the ball carrier, are left short when England trample over them.
