Here we go then with a bonus edition of Rugby Union Weekly. The word of the day for the

start of the women's six nations has been sunshine because it has been stunning in Edinburgh

for the opening match between Scotland and England. My name Sarah orchard alongside me

here to dissect everything that happened in the match and I've got former Scotland forward.

Heather Lockhart also, England World Cup winner, cap merchant, the final score, Scotland

five, England 57. Heather Lockhart, does that score line represent what we saw from Scotland

today? I think in phases, last year it was 52-10, today it's 57-5, so on paper it's not

looking as a massive improvement, but I think in spells there was signs of massive improvement.

Scotland won their last four matches, they'll be disappointed not to have taken some chances,

but especially in the second half they're up the physicality, up the defence, counter-rucking

and the line out really was outstanding today and a fantastic try came from that.

So, Kat, before we get into the real detail of the match itself, what did you think of England

today? Were you impressed? Is there more, where did you feel at the end of it?

Yeah, really impressed, I think they dominated in the attacking line-outs, they got it out

wide, they played with a tempo of keeping the ball alive, offloading it and Scotland put

up a really good defence and they were putting into big hits, so England had to work for their

tries and they're a smart team, they didn't just go one out running when they started getting

ahead, they still kept playing as a team and working together to get those kind of moves

just looked like they are building as a squad.

Yeah, they were a huge hit on Helena Rowland, that was replayed many times in the TV screens,

I do believe the official expression when that happens to you is really took the wind out
