England will head to Italy in a week's time knowing that victory would send them into a play-off for the title on the final weekend.
It is going to take some team to stop them making it a hatrick.
Check out Becky Grey's report from sunny Doncaster over here.

Image source, Getty ImagesScotland started well and were within nine points of England after 27 minutes before the Red Roses possession and territory started to tell.
In the end the hosts chalked up eight tries, taking full advantage of Scotland's two yellow cards and replacement Molly Wright's red.
The bonus point was wrapped up long before the final whistle and they roll on towards Italy next weekend with plenty of pump in their tyres.

Image source, GettyYou want match stats? We got match stats.
Possession you say? 53%-47% in England's favour. Territory was a 65%-35% split in the hosts' favour.
England also made a greater proportion of their attempted tackles (91% to 82%), although coach Simon Middleton may have words about the discipline. England conceded 14 penalties to Scotland's 11 and picked up a couple of yellow cards with Poppy Cleall and Lark Davies dumped in the sin bin.

Player of the match Poppy Cleall: "We've been waiting a long while for the opening game of the Six Nations. Some bits we won't be too happy with and we can play better than that but it's a good start for us.
"We have been watching the men's game and how the new laws work and we need to get up to speed a little bit with that side of things."
On twin sister Bryony's return from injury: "She fitted seamlessly in and we're so proud of her and pleased to see her back in a white shirt. She's worked so hard."

Relentless from England but a massive improvement from Scotland.
England 52-10 Scotland
A massive statement of intent from the defending champions.
England roll on towards Italy next weekend. It could get messy for the Azzurri.

There have been some strong performances from the likes of Jess Breach, Emily Scarratt and Scotland's Lisa Thomson, but Poppy Cleall has been unbelievable and produced some crazy stats. She lives life on the edge but she is a very, very good rugby player.
England 52-10 Scotland
Scotland's Louise McMillan pays for the penalty try with a yellow card of her own.
Penalty try
Scotland are guilty of pulling down a rolling maul that was only going one way...
And the referee marches under the posts to give the penalty try.
England 45-10 Scotland
Poppy Cleall's size nines are deft enough, but her hands let her down. A slight spill forward in the grounding.
No try.
England 45-10 Scotland
Poppy Cleall, who else?, looks to have crossed for try number eight for England.
The referee is coming over to have a gander at the pitchside ipad though.
Was there a problem in the grounding at the back of a shoved scrum? Scrum-half Jenny Maxwell was sniffing around...

Poppy Cleall again - I'm almost bored of her talking about her she's been that good today! Brilliant work to add to her great stats, as if they weren't enough already.
Poppy Cleall
Poppy Cleall is at the bottom of a mound of bodies. She comes up clutching the ball and claiming the score.
Helena Rowland has taken on place-kicking duties in the absence of Emily Scarratt, who has been replaced by Meg Jones.
No dice. Off the post.
England 40-10 Scotland
England with a penalty advantage after a high tackle on Vicky Fleetwood. Nothing coming from the cross-kick. Helena Rowland clumps the kick into the corner and England will try and shovel the rolling maul over the line from here.
England 40-10 Scotland
England, with Lark Davies and Poppy Cleall back into the fray, have a player advantage. It is showing.
Poppy Cleall with an outrageous overhead pass, slung over the top of a tackle finds Ellie Kildunne and the replacement full-back is stopped just short of the line.
England 40-10 Scotland
I am not sure that Johnnie Cochran could have got Molly Wright off the hook for that.
The Scotland replacement swings her shoulder into the head of England prop Vickii Cornborough.
The referee talks it through with her team of officials, but no-one can come up with anything convincing to avoid the red.
England 40-10 Scotland
England shuffle the back division as Lydia Thompson makes way, full-back Sarah McKenna shifts to the wing and Ellie Kildunne comes on at 15.
Scotland make a change of their own with Jenny Maxwell replacing Mairi McDonald at nine.

England are trying a little too hard to make amends because they only have 13 players on the field and captain Emily Scarratt is trying to calm her players down.
England 40-10 Scotland
England are holding strong despite being two players down.
Drifting, talking and spreading across the space to deny Scotland the space they are sure is out there somewhere...
England 40-10 Scotland
England hooker Lark Davies is under the microscope for a tackle that looks like it connects with Siobhan Cattigan's chin.
There is a bit of mitigation though.
Cattigan was being tackled round the legs by Shaunagh Brown and was dropping in height.
England are down to 13 for the next few minutes with Poppy Cleall also in the bin.
