Nine-try England hammer Japan | The West ***********

England ended their run of five straight defeats with a comprehensive 59-14 victory against a young Japan team at Twickenham, running in nine tries, including two from captain Jamie George.

The hosts have had a disappointing Autumn series, suffering close defeats against New Zealand, Australia and South *******, but didn’t look in any danger of losing their sixth straight game against former coach Eddie Jones’ side once Ben Earl crossed for the opening try inside the first 10 minutes.

England, playing in their red change jerseys, were rampant on Sunday with two tries each from ******** Jamie George and Luke Cowan-Dickie, while Sam Underhill, Ollie Sleightholme, George Furbank and Tom Roebuck also crossed over, as flyhalf Marcus Smith made seven of his nine kicks.

Japan were outclassed for much of the game but crossed for two of their own tries. Scrumhalf Naoto Saito scored and converted in the first half and flanker Kazuki Himeno added a second but Japan were no match for a dominant England.
