England wrapped up their tour of Argentina and the United States with a comprehensive 40-5 victory over the US Eagles in a weather-interrupted Test match in Washington DC on Saturday.
-
Curtis Langdon, Luke Northmore, Cadan Murley, Jack van Poortvliet, Harry Randall and Gabriel Oghre -- one of six players to earn his first cap in the match scored the tries as England backed up their two-Test series win over Argentina with a comfortable victory.
Lightning delayed the match kickoff by about an hour and interrupted the contest in the 29th minute for a delay of about 40 minutes at Washington's Audi Field, home of MLS side DC United.
"A lot of hard work," England captain George Ford said. "Conditions were difficult. I'm proud of the boys. It's the last day of a four-week tour for us. We won all three games. We had six new caps today. We are really proud of what they did and I'm proud of the group effort as a whole."
England's win was their seventh straight international victory following their defeat to Ireland in February in their Six Nations opener. The English improved to 8-0 against the USA Eagles by winning only their second match on US soil.
"It's always tough to face a tier one team," US captain Ben Bonasso said. "The boys, we still trust the process. We got a try at the end. We hope to keep on going."
