Yahoo Sports

Scotland captain Rachel Malcolm: "It is not what we wanted and the scoreline is disappointing but as we said before the game, we are here for the performance. "Where we are in our cycle, England aren't a team that we are ready to compete with, but the promising thing is that we created some pretty cool chances today but the disappointing is that we didn't stop them enough times. " On what went wrong for Scotland: "I think it was a bit of inexperience here today across the board, we are all still learning each other.

Today was a baptism of fire and they exposed our weaknesses. This was a brilliant test for us but we hoped we would out in a better performance today. " On Rhona Lloyd scoring a try: "Of all the people to get Murrayfield on their feet, Rhona Lloyd is definitely one of them.

Scotland is everything to her and what she has given to Scotland over the years is incredible. " A final message to the fans: "I just want to say a massive thank you, today has been a dream come true, the performance and the outcome wasn't what we wanted but you guys created something that we never thought was possible in our careers. Let's make it happen again.
