Dow

England winger Abby Dow said her team normally sit down once or twice a year to discuss periods, especially when they have a big tournament, or when new players join the squad.

Her range of passing put the ever-impressive Meg Jones into a hole, before another lovely wide ball gave Abby Dow space to scamper in for her 50th England try.

On another attack, Aitchison put boot to ball, attempting to pick out Dow with a cross-field bomb.

Abby Dow also claimed her 50th try in 57 Tests after Holly Aitchison's slung miss-pass exposed Scotland out wide to give the hosts a 26-3 interval lead.

The wet weather was an awkward accompaniment to her playmaking game, but Aitchison, preferred to Zoe Harrison at fly-half, sent a pass out to Dow for the wing's landmark score.
