HARRIET Millar-Mills scored twice as England beat Scotland 32-0 in the opening round of the Women's Six Nations Championship in Cumbernauld, Glasgow.
The 24-year-old back-row forward scored two of England's five tries either side of half-time as they dominated the home team on a rainy evening in Scotland.
Substitute Lucy Demaine also got on the scoresheet to mark her dream England debut and La Toya Mason orchestrated the tempo of the match from scrum-half on her 50th appearance.
Bristol blindside flanker Millar-Mills earned herself player of the match with a stunning performance in the set piece and breakdown.
Worcester's Ceri Large and Rochelle Clark started for England with Courtney Gill and Bianca Blackburn on the bench, while club-mate Tracy Balmer played for Scotland.
Mason showed her experience and composure to set up Millar-Mills for her first try from the back of a scrum.
England battled hard in the first half to frustrate Scotland with a high intensity in defence which forced mistakes to creep into the Scottish play.
Scotland came close to scoring on a number of occasions in the first half but England's organisation and maturity in their style of play kept them in control, capitalising on Scotland's errors to earn a 15-0 lead by half-time.
England lead coach Scott Bemand said: "Scotland turned up to try and played well.
"Our biggest plus was our energy in defence, managing to shut out a pretty spirited Scotland team. A good contest but we got what we came here for."
