London Irish winger Marland Yarde helped himself to a first-half hat-trick as the visitors overcame early Scottish pressure to put on a commanding display.

Skipper George Ford, 2011's IRB Junior World Player of the Year, was at the heart of everything, converting seven of the nine tries.

And having picked a side packed with Premiership experience, Rob Hunter's team delivered in style as the Scots were completely overwhelmed.

However it was the home side who made the brighter start, young Edinburgh fly-half Harry Leonard knocking over an early penalty to break the deadlock.

But from then on it was all England, as Ford picked them apart to put Yarde in for a hat-trick of tries, with Harlequins No.8 Jack Clifford also getting in on the act in the first half before a penalty try just before the break made it a very comfortable 31-3 half-time lead.

England made changes in the second half but it made no difference to their dominance, with replacement winger Anthony Watson showing exceptional power and pace after he was introduced.

The 17-year-old took advantage of an exquisite delayed pass from Ford to cross for the first try of the second half, before making a searing break and generously offloading to Harlequins flyer Charlie Walker for another try.

Jack Clifford bagged his second after more good work from Watson as England ran away with it.

And although Scotland tried valiantly to at least score one try, an attempted grubber from Leonard bounced perfectly into Ford's hands, and the Leicester man sprinted off before feeding Walker inside him who raced away for his second of the night. Ford again adding the conversion.

Hunter and his side will now look forward to a trip to Italy as they continue their campaign for back-to-back Grand Slams while Scotland will look to bounce back with a trip to Wales next weekend.
