'One of the best' - Malcolm hails dominant Scots

Rachel Malcolm says Scotland's six-try demolition of Wales in their Women's Rugby World Cup opener is one of her greatest days as national captain. Malcolm led her country for the 50th time and was part of an outstanding Scottish performance that made a mockery of pre-match predictions of a tight affair. "It's probably up there with one of the best performances, let alone scorelines that I've been a part of as captain, as part of the squad," Malcolm told BBC Scotland.

Rachel Malcolm says Scotland's six-try demolition of Wales in their Women's Rugby World Cup opener is one of her greatest days as national captain.

Malcolm led her country for the 50th time and was part of an outstanding Scottish performance that made a mockery of pre-match predictions of a tight affair.

"It's probably up there with one of the best performances, let alone scorelines that I've been a part of as captain, as part of the squad," Malcolm told BBC Scotland.

"I think we were just extremely efficient and professional and there's a bit of an inevitability about everything that we did. It just makes me so proud of the group and how hard they've worked for that performance.

"There's nothing that can break this group. It's what our X-factor is, it's just how together we are as a group. Whether it's on-pitch, off-pitch, we'll always stick together and fight for each other..

"That's what makes results like that so special to be a part of because we know what we have and what we have is so special."
