England continued their Rugby World Cup 2019 campaign in the sweltering setting of Kobe Misaki Stadium by thrashing heavy underdogs the United States.
The Eagles suffered a blow in only the third minute when prop David Ainuu limped off after falling awkwardly at a scrum.
Their line cracked soon after, George Ford racing through a large gap made possible when Billy Vunipola sucked in defenders with a muscular carry earlier in the move.
Billy Vunipola, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Ruaridh McConnochie and Lewis Ludlam ran in further tries, while Joe Cokanasiga – restored to the left wing, grabbed two.
The USA meanwhile finished the match with fourteen men on the field after John Quill saw red for a late head-high shoulder barge on Owen Farrell. Here is how we rated the two teams.
