Grand slam's in sight for the Red Rose

Western Daily Press

April 21, 2025

ENGLAND wingers Claudia MacDonald and Abby Dow both scored doubles in a 59-7 rout of Scotland at Welford Road to set up a Six Nations grand slam decider next week against France.

The Red Roses turned on the style in front of a 15,530-crowd, running in nine tries six of them in a dominant first half as they extended their winning run to 24 matches.

Kelsey Clifford, Marlie Packer, captain Zoe Aldcroft, MacDonald, Abbie Ward and Lark Atkin-Davies all went over to put England 42-0 up at half-time.

MacDonald touched down for her second try after the break and although Scotland responded through centre Lisa Thomson's score, Dow had the crowd out of their seats with her first effort before she completed the scoring.
