'Rusty' to 'relentless' - Red Roses deliver statement win

"They dominated from minute one to minute 80. It didn't matter whether it was their starters or their bench, whether it was players who had one cap or 113 - everybody came in and did their jobs.

"We've sometimes seen England do it in bits, but never as polished as that. They were outstanding."

Maggie Alphonsi, another member of England's 2014 world champions, added: "It was an impressive display. After the way they played against Ireland, you could say they were very rusty and left opportunities behind.

"Today, they capitalised on every chance they got when they went into the opposition's 22.

"All the forwards really stepped up. Last weekend against Ireland, you didn't really see the forwards get into the game, win the collisions or go forward. Today, they owned it. This England team have got a really good power game."

Kildunne reaches 50 international tries

There were changes among England's back division for the trip to Murrayfield, too.

In at fly-half for Holly Aitchison, Zoe Harrison had a magnificent day with the boot, converting all 12 tries.

England's lightning-quick ruck speed was a feature of their play, causing Scotland problems throughout.

Emma Sing capped a fine display at full-back with a first-half score, while Ellie Kildunne - who had been switched to the wing after starting at 15 against Ireland - scored twice to bring up a half-century of international tries.

Daley-Mclean said Kildunne had played "like a woman on a mission" while summarising England's first-half performance.

"Everybody around her has gone well today," she continued. "Ellie's tries have been extremely well-taken but a lot of it is the work done by other people around her. The ball from Jones [for Kildunne's second try] is sublime.

Alphonsi added: "People were questioning whether Kildunne could do it on the wing and she's putting on a show."

How Mitchell uses Sing and Kildunne moving forward is his "biggest challenge", according to Daley-Mclean.

"What we've seen today is the difference in them," the former England fly-half said in commentary.

"Ellie's top-end pace is like that of a winger and her strength. What Emma brings is really good aerial threat and she's got a really good kicking game.

"Using them is probably John Mitchell's biggest challenge. If Ellie wasn't there, Emma would be England's starting full-back and potentially would start for other nations in the Six Nations.

"She's probably unlucky that she's behind someone like Ellie, but for England it's how you use them to suit what the team needs to do."

On this evidence, England will take some stopping if any team is going to prevent them from clinching an eighth successive Women's Six Nations title and a fifth straight Grand Slam.

Winless Wales are next up in Bristol on 25 April, followed by a trip to Italy (9 May) and a potential Grand Slam decider in France eight days later.
