England’s Discipline “Not Good Enough” Despite 46-0 Win Over Scotland, Says Brian Moore
In a dominating performance, the defending champions England secured a resounding 46-0 victory over Scotland in the Women’s Six Nations tournament. Despite the impressive win, concerns were raised about England’s discipline on the field.
Hooker Amy Cokayne received two yellow cards during the match, becoming the second England player to be sent off in the tournament. Former England hooker Brian Moore expressed his worries about the team’s discipline, citing the red card incident in the 2022 World Cup final as a reminder of the consequences of ill-discipline.
However, attack coach Lou Meadows defended the team’s approach, attributing the lack of discipline to their ambitious style of play. Meadows emphasized the importance of taking risks and playing with intensity, despite the need for improvement in technical training.
England’s back three shone in the match, with Ellie Kildunne scoring two tries and earning the player of the match award. The team’s depth and competition for starting spots were highlighted by prop Maud Muir, who praised the squad’s performance and unity.
With the victory, England remains at the top of the Six Nations table and is on track for a sixth consecutive title. As they look ahead to the next World Cup in 2025, the team will need to address their discipline issues to avoid a repeat of past setbacks. Despite the concerns raised, the Red Roses are confident in their ability to continue their winning ways and strive for further improvement.
