This will be the first time England have ever played a home game in July, the only month of the year they’ve never played a Test match on home soil; the USA meanwhile find themselves playing on Independence Day for the second time in their history (12-6 v Canada in 2009).

The last time England hosted the USA was in a warm-up game for the 1999 Rugby World Cup, scoring 16 tries in a 106-8 win at Twickenham; one of five occasions England have scored a century of points in a match.

England have met the USA six times previously, winning each of those encounters, four of those clashes have come in Rugby World Cup fixtures (1987, 1991, 2007, 2019).
