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
"You can have the best systems, but if players donโt 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
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.
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
