Oli Shaw sets Hamilton on the way to an opening day victory
Jason Brown bagged a brace as Peterhead brushed aside East Fife 4-1 in the battle of the teams promoted from League Two. Lewis Latona put the Fifers in front after 20 minutes but David Wilson drew level moments later, while Kieran Shanks struck from the penalty spot just before the half hour. Brown then put Peterhead in firm control just before half-time and then rubber-stamped an excellent start to the season a minute before the end. Cove Rangers, beaten in last season's Championship play-off final by Airdrieonians, started their campaign with a 2-0 defeat at home by Queen of the South. Kurtis Guthrie put the Doonhammers ahead just after the quarter of an hour mark but it was not until the 81st minute that they sealed all three points courtesy of Kai Kennedy's strike. Alloa came from a goal down to claim a 2-1 win at Stenhousemuir. Dale Carrick put the hosts ahead after a quarter of an hour but Steven Buchanan and Kurtis Roberts struck either side of the interval to help the Wasps start their season on the right note. Billy McKay, Luis Longstaff and David Wotherspoon were all on target as Inverness eased to a 3-0 victory at Kelty Hearts. In League Two, Alistair Roy and Mark Durnan scored to help relegated Dumbarton collect a 2-1 win over Clyde, whose goal from Marley Redfern proved to be mere consolation. Annan, also relegated from League One last season, were grateful for Miles Gaffney's late winner after creeping past Elgin 3-2 in a game with a dramatic finish. Dylan Gavin's goal for Elgin was cancelled out by Gaffney before Aidan Smith headed home a minute from time. Keith Watson's own goal looked to have rescued a point for Elgin but Gaffney had the final say. Stuart Morrison's first-half effort ensured Forfar ran out 1-0 winners over Stranraer, who played the last half hour with 10 men when Evan Dunne was sent off. Russell McLean's double lifted Stirling to a 2-1 win at Edinburgh City, who bagged a late consolation through Robert Mahon's spot-kick. Cameron Russell's early goal and Mark Stowe's brace gave Spartans a 3-1 victory at East Kilbride, who had levelled through Keir Foster. Russell's day ended on a sour note when he was red-carded.

Packer's fast start and early exit increases England back-row intrigue
As she wandered back into the home dressing room, her young son leading the way, her new fiancee by her side and the evening sun on her back, Marlie Packer had a smile on her it was perhaps not quite as broad as it might have an hour, Packer was everywhere. Hitting lines and opponents, cantering in the open and grinding hard in the had admitted on the eve of the match that this game meant a wasn't necessarily the opponents or the stage. England will play against better teams than an outclassed Spain and in front of bigger crowds than the 5,286 who filled one stand at Welford being restored to the captaincy, albeit for one afternoon in Zoe Aldcroft's absence, on the brink of a home World Cup, was a big moment for one of only four survivors - along with Emily Scarratt, Alex Matthews and Natasha Hunt - from England's success at the 2014 clearout of Claudia Pena that spelt an early end to Packer's afternoon was clumsy, rather than malicious. However, the big-screen sight of her shoulder folding the Spanish full-back's leg was a video nasty that referee Aurelie Groizelau ultimately couldn't ignore. She showed red. If Packer is suspended - a panel will meet and decide in the next few days - other back-row contenders for the World Cup starting XV can put distance between themselves and eight Maddie Feaunati, an X-factor runner of raw pace and power, had another impressive showing, scattering Spain defenders like skittles at Burton, the third member of the starting back row, was not as obvious, but got through a mountain of unseen in the squad, Aldcroft is a certain starter. Alex Matthews' enduring quality and enormous engine has made her a go-to pick for coach John Mitchell. And Sadia Kabeya's fetching ability is something that Packer, with considerably more miles on the clock and a different game in the first place, can't is never a good time to get a red card. But this felt like a particularly bad time. Harrison shows quality at 10 Outside the Six Nations, Spain are the best of the rest in Europe. But that still places them several streets away from England, who are the dominant force in the world such underpowered opponents Mitchell's concerns were for the form and fitness of his squad, rather than the outcome of the Harrison gave him a scare on the injury front as she went down with a first-half knee knock, but recovered to pull strings and pick passes well at Jones was a forceful presence in midfield, even if her partnership with Jade Shekells did not quite click as it versatile Helena Rowland will need to face stiffer opposition before it is clear whether a hat-trick shows that wing could be her home in England's the other side of the pitch, Jess Breach's top-end pace - an edge she would have over Rowland - was in full evidence as she took her try, but there were errors as Sarah Bern was excellent, Abbie Ward mixed deft hands with heavy spadework in the second row and full-back Emma Sing grew into the game, zipping over for a good try and kicking superbly for the posts once Harrison had headed is plenty of Mitchell to muse over as he crosses the Channel for England's second warm-up match against France next too will be wondering what this afternoon all adds up to.
