[upbeat music] Five Lives Rugby Union Weekly. Scotland seven, England 84. Whoa, what a score line we saw here at Murrayfield in round two of the Women's Six Nations. Possibly one of the most ruthless performances we've ever seen from an English side who made such a statement on what was meant to be an amazing party inside Murrayfield. I'm joined by Katie Daly-McLean, former England captain. I'm also joined by former Scotland fly-half, Lisa Martin. Lisa, I know the score line is rough. It is not nice to hear, but 30,498 people, let's talk about that first.

Arguably, it maybe wasn't the show we were looking for from a, from a Scotland point of view, but it just shows there's a demand and there's a want for this. And it's a case of how do you back up this momentum? Like, what is next for women's sport in Scotland? What is the next record we can break? Where can we now take it? So it's a really good, I think, statement. Um, and this should be an expectation going forward, especially for Scotland women in the rugby. But again, what is next? Where can we take this?
