Scarborough's Zoe Aldcroft impressed for England in their Six Nations win against Scotland

The Gloucester-Hartpury lock put in a fine performance, carrying hard and playing the full 80 minutes in freezing conditions at a snowy Murrayfield.

The match was due to have taken place in Glasgow but because of Sunday’s extreme weather was moved to Edinburgh on Monday, where it was played behind closed doors.

England will now look to strengthen their position at the top of the table when they play host to their closest rivals Ireland on Sunday February 23, the visitors having also won both their games in the Six Nations.
