England storm past USA after lightning delays
After beating Argentina 2-0 in South America, the third game of England's tour at Audi Field kicked off an hour late due to an electrical storm in the American capital. Play was then halted near the half-hour mark, with both sets of players spending 40 minutes in the dressing room before the action resumed. That's all from DC 🫡#USAvENG — England Rugby (@EnglandRugby) July 20, 2025 England eventually ran out comfortable winners with six tries shared by Curtis Langdon, Luke Northmore, Cadan Murley, Jack van Poortvliet, Harry Randall and Gabriel Oghre. George Ford added four conversions and Charlie Atkinson one in a dominant display in which Harlequins flanker Chandler Cunningham-South was outstanding. The US had never beaten England in seven previous attempts, but began on the front foot and engineered some promising field positions. But the Eagles were reduced to 14 by a deliberate knock-on from outside-half Chris Hilsenbeck and England took instant advantage of their extra numbers with an 11th-minute try. Ford kicked to the corner and Langdon was the beneficiary of a driving line-out that the fly-half, winning his 102nd cap, converted. England soon worked another opening and new boy Max Ojomoh slipped in fellow centre Northmore for a simple score with Ford again adding the extras. Alex Dombrandt thought he had extended the lead from the back of a maul, but his effort was ruled out for obstruction and the players were then taken off the field after 29 minutes due to further lightning concerns. When they returned, lightning – this time in the metaphorical sense – struck twice for England as full-back Jack Carpenter was denied a debut try by a Murley knock-on. But England's patience was rewarded in the final play of the first half as Murley spotted a gap to race over. Van Poortvliet, showing his sound positional sense, went over straight after the restart for Ford to convert, and England were camped in the Americans' 22 for most of the second period. The hosts held out until Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, making his first appearance after six months out with a shoulder injury and a two-match ban for a high tackle that saw him miss the Argentina games, sliced through. The Exeter wing showed fine awareness to send Randall over, and Ford's final act before making way for Atkinson was to add another two points. England turned heavily to their bench in the final quarter, but there was no easing off and Bristol hooker Oghre celebrated his first cap with a burst to the line that Atkinson added to. The US were finally on the scoreboard in the final seconds as a well-worked ploy at the front of a line-out saw Chris Poidevin put Shilo Klein over for a consolation score.

Murley backing wing partnership with Feyi-Waboso to ignite against USA
And wing partner Cadan Murley reckons the deadly duo can 'bounce off each other' to help England cap a summer clean sweep. Steve Borthwick's side take on the Eagles in the American capital hoping to make it three transatlantic wins from three after an impressive 2-0 series victory in Argentina. Feyi-Waboso, 22, missed both of those clashes after serving a two-match ban for a high tackle in a pre-tour warm-up match against a France XV. But the Exeter Chiefs flyer will start on the flank this evening and fellow winger Murley, 25, has put the Gary Gold's hosts on red alert. Our first meeting with @USARugby in four years 👊 Read the full match preview for all the information you need, including team news, stats and recent results 📄 — England Rugby (@EnglandRugby) July 19, 2025 'I'm massively excited,' he said. 'I've never played with Manny before so that's exciting in itself. 'He's been carving up in training – so hopefully he can take some of that and put it out on the pitch on Saturday. 'We can bounce off each other quite well – we're probably quite similar kind of wingers, we want to get our hands on the ball, we want to attack through the middle a bit more than probably traditional wingers standing on the edge. 'I'm going to try and get my hands on the ball and link up with him. 'I've got to know him quite well – positionally, you're always very close, so I've spent a lot of time with him. 'I'm absolutely buzzing about what's going to be a really exciting game.' England have now won six games on the spin under Borthwick in what marks their longest winning streak since back in 2020.. Jack van Poortvliet's dramatic last-gasp try clinched that series victory in South America and the Red Rose are chomping at the bit to cap a summer tour to savour this evening. Harlequins ace Murley, who came off the bench in those clashes in La Plata and San Juan, believes the group have learned from tough experiences and hopes the likes of him and Feyi-Waboso can lay down a marker with a pair of big performances at DC's Audi Field. 'Before that all the results were by one try,' Murley added. 'But as you develop and learn as a group, particularly with the leaders we have who have won so much in an England shirt, they can pull you through those games. 'That's when results go your way. 'We're buzzing to get out there and show what we can do – a lot of boys haven't played or started so we want to put our best foot forward to try and stake our claim to start in the autumn. 'There are always roles you're trying to play for – I'm excited to get out there and show what I can do.' The match against the USA Eagles will be streamed live on RugbyPassTV and England Rugby's YouTube channel.
