• Pool C: England 45-7 USA
• USA’s John Quill sees red for shoulder into Owen Farrell’s head
No American dreams here, just a painful 80-minute nightmare. Eddie Jones’s England were supposed to be footsore and weary only 96 hours after their opening game against Tonga but instead their forwards had far too much in the tank for their outclassed opponents en route to their second convincing pool win of this Rugby World Cup.
England’s eventual seven-try victory was also notable for the tournament’s first red card, shown to US flanker John Quill for a blatant shoulder charge to Owen Farrell’s head. Quill could have no argument at all about the decision but, with England already 38 points up, it had no effect on the outcome.
