[Tyrone Holmes @tyrone_holmes]

@ChocolateARFC1 Awesome shift from the girls

[Tyrone Holmes @tyrone_holmes]

Huge shift from the players! #asone what a way to end off the campaign

[Scottish Rugby @Scotlandteam]

@G_HMedia @WXVRugby @Scotlandteam Great result for the girls. Huge effort in and around the tackle to stop a quality italian side from getting into their flow

[Tyrone Holmes @tyrone_holmes]

Testament to this groups daily approach to their improvement, both on and off the field! 📈 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @Scotlandteam #asone

Scotland will be 5th in the World Rankings on Monday 😍. So much hard work from an incredible team has led to an amazing couple of years.

[Tyrone Holmes @tyrone_holmes]

Huge shift from the young gun! While studying law no less 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @Scotlandteam

[Scotland Women's Rugby Stories @scotwomenrugby]

What a shift from 19 year old Alex Stewart in her first tournament 👏👏👏

[Scotland Women's Rugby Stories @scotwomenrugby]

Turnover queen Evie Gallagher makes this list (and as she can play across the back row, seems fair to stick her at 7!)

[Bryan Easson @BryanEasson1]

Not the finish we wanted however this @Scotlandteam are a pleasure to work with and we will keep growing.
Expertly led by @rach_malcolm we have won 7 in a row, won in Wales for 1st time in 20 yrs, Italy for 1st time in 25 yrs and sold out a stadium. Thanks for all the support

[Tyrone Holmes @tyrone_holmes]

Another huge effort 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Gary Heatly @G_HMedia]

It needed a solid defensive effort to get @Scotlandteam over the line in Italy + @evie_gallagher3 led the way with 15 tackles...

@lisathomson10 made 12 with Alex Stewart + @louiseimcmillan both making 11 in the @Womens6Nations clash + hosts turned the ball over 23 times

[Tyrone Holmes @tyrone_holmes]

@G_HMedia @Scotlandteam Couldn’t agree more, another special performance from her!

[Gary Heatly @G_HMedia]

"You can have the best systems, but if players don’t want to put bodies on the line then you won't get the outcomes you want - the fact they want to put their bodies on the line for each other is what is important"...

@Scotlandteam coach @tyrone_holmes on the defensive desire

[Tyrone Holmes @tyrone_holmes]

@glasgowfanboy Cheers guys! Huge effort from the players to execute the plan

[Tyrone Holmes @tyrone_holmes]

A true team effort. Proud to be part of it 🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[OptaJonny @OptaJonny]

97% - @Scotlandteam missed from just five of their 169 tackle attempts against Wales, recording a 97.0% tackle success rate, the highest of any team in a @Womens6Nations game this decade, overtaking the previous record of 95.6% set by England v Ireland in 2022 (86/90). Resilient.

[Glasgow Warriors @GlasgowWarriors]

You absolutely love to see it 🤩

Thanks for coming, team!

[Scotland Women's Rugby Stories @scotwomenrugby]

Elliann Clarke, Evie Gallagher and Chloe Rollie all make the official PWR team of the week! Exciting to see all these players in such good form just a couple of months before W6N
