Six England Players Who Made The Most Of Their Chance Against USA
- 3714
A youthful England team beat a spirited USA side 43-29 at Twickenham on Sunday.
The Americans opened the scoring early on but it did not take long for England to hit back as Max Malins regained the restart to set Sam Underhill up for a try right from the restart. England crossed for a further three first-half tries to lead 26-8 with two injuries occurring in the backline to Ollie Lawrence and Max Malins.
The USA came out far stronger in the second half with a try just two minutes in making it 26-8. England responded with a try with half an hour to play, but a second USA score approaching the hour mark saw the visitors trail just 31-15 heading into the final quarter. Two quick England tries wrapped up the match at 43-15 with ten minutes left on the clock, but the USA showed tremendous fight to run in two late tries to win the second half 26-17, but ultimately fall 14 points short.
