After conceding the opening try in the last two rounds, England bucked the trend this time around, Kelsey Clifford scoring her second try in as many Tests after patient close-quarter work on the Scottish 5m line.
Marlie Packer had been stuck on 49 tries since last autumn, so the delight was evident on her face when she picked-and-went for another England try from short range. A scarcely believable 50 tries for the back rower from Somerset, and Holly Aitchison made it two from two with her conversion: 14-0.
The game had only just entered the second quarter when captain Zoe Aldcroft interecepted a delayed Helen Nelson pass a metre inside the Scottish half to put on a display of pure athleticism to sprint away for a try under the sticks. A considerate placement of the ball from the blinside allowed for a simple conversion for her fly-half: 21-0.
It was a case of 28 points in 28 minutes when Aitchison passed a flat ball to Claudia MacDonald, who cut through the defence with a mazey run to score a try that took her tally to 19 in 33 international appearances. A score from the backs seemed the exception in the first half, particularly when second row Abbie Ward touched down after Scotland had erred at the lineout. Aitchison resumed her 100% conversion rate to make it 35-0.
As if to underline the point of England's forwards' dominance - within their own team, let alone the game in general - hooker Lark Atkin-Davies went over with the clock in the red. Aitchison was at least keeping her backs in the game with her sixth conversion from six attempts, giving the Red Roses a 42-0 lead at half time.
It was 40 minutes the Scots would want to put behind them, and one in which the hosts made a phenomenal 523 metres to Scotland's 128.
The only upside for Scotland in the second half was that they kept England scoreless for the first ten minutes; that was until MacDonald glided down the left wing in masterful fashion to reach that 20-try milestone. Aitchison added the extras, of course: 49-0.
However belated it may have been, Scotland got a deserved try almost on the hour - but not after a TMO review - as centre Lisa Thomson touched down in amidst of a mass of bodies. Fly-half Nelson did well with the conversion: 49-7.
It could be construed as nit-picking to wonder why England failed to score a point for an entire 20 minutes after Aitchison's 50th-minute conversion, but Scotland did begin to find something of a foothold in the match (scant consolation for a team with high ambitions,
That was until the 73rd minute, when Abby Dow scored a try of near supernatural levels, fending off the desperate attempts of three Scottish defenders as she blazed her way down the right wing. It was the try that finally broke Scottish spirits, though you assumed Aitchison's confidence wasn't dented after missing the difficult conversion, having been flawless up until that point.
Dow had less work to do five minutes or so later, England shipping the ball out quickly in the Scottish 22 for her to dart over in the corner. Aitchison missed again from a similarly difficult angle for a final score of 59-7.
Leicester is proving a happy hunting ground for England, who have now come away from this East Midlands venue with three convincing victories after also beating Ireland (69-0, 2022) and Wales (56-3, 1996) here in the past. Stats aficionados will also note that Scotland have now failed to win against the Red Roses since 1999.
On a day when France stuttered to victory against Italy, the result in Leicester suggested that the Red Roses already have one hand on the coveted Championship trophy.
Perhaps that's just how France would like it.
