England head coach Eddie Jones: "The conditions were such it was like a wet weather game but we found our rhythm and tempo really well in the second half. We made some handling mistakes but we will improve.

“Good win again. We had to work for it again. USA very physical, passionate team, so we had to earn that win. I thought we did that pretty well,” said Ford.


Cowan-Dickie's bonus-point try against Tonga did not arrive until four minutes from time, but England had no such problems in this match.
