Georgie Rozario picks up her 12th England Cap as they romped to a 12 try victory over Scotland at Old Deer Park today. The 72 - 3 win confirmed England top of the table and they retain the RBS 6 Nations for the forth successive win.

England despite being well in front at half time never released the pressure and their fitness showed continuing to be part of the game until the very last play of the game. Worcester's winger, Katherine Merchant, picked up the first three tries early in the match with her fourth coming in the second. Charlotte Barras at fullback also picked up a hat trick.

Head Coach, Gary Street, was pleased with the team and Rozario, who came on with 23 minutes to play. Street said "we were a bit nervous at times, it was just that sort of game. When she (Georgie) came on she looked really sharp. I asked her to bring some tempo to the game and that is what she did." He also admitted that the loss against Wales 16-15, last month, was real motivation for us to pick ourselves up and prove what we can do.

Georgie was initially speechless after picking up her winners medal. She had had played well and was close to the line on a number of occasions but her pace put that little bit extra pace into the match in the last quarter.

When asked what's next Georgie her sights were on the club game and her part in next Championship South match against Bath. Whilst this is her home town she will not be giving the visitors favours.

England will be into training camps during the summer ahead of a competition in Toronto. This will be all part of the work up to the World Cup next year with the hope of Autumn fixtures to be added to the list.
