"And then we're looking for the impact of the finishers when they come on."

A chance to pause for breath!
It took 10 minutes or so for England to get going, but when they did they looked irresistible.

The prop picks the ball up on the Scotland 22 and puts her head down.
She throws a delicious dummy to wrong-foot two blue shirts, before finally being tackled five metres out from the line.
But she offloads to Infante as she takes contact, leaving the scrum-half with the simplest of tasks to cross over for the score.
