Match Report – England 43 – 29 USA

Two tries from Joe Cokanasiga helped set an unfamiliar-looking England on their way to a 43-29 victory against a spirited USA side in Sunday’s international at Twickenham.

England head coach Eddie Jones named a team that saw eight of the starting XV win their first cap, including skipper Lewis Ludlow, the first man since Nigel Melville in 1984 to captain England on debut, and a further four uncapped players among the replacements.

The visitors, who had only come together on the Wednesday prior to their first game in 21 months, asked plenty of questions of Jones’ side and crossed for four tries during the contest.

But ultimately, England had too much for the Americans as Cokanasiga’s double, plus scores from Sam Underhill, Ollie Lawrence, Jamie Blamire, Marcus Smith – who kicked four conversions – and man of the match Harry Randall sealed the win.
