usa vs england

England have taken an early lead against the USA in their rugby match at Audi Field, Washington, D.C., marking their summer test finale. The match began with a promising start from both sides, but England scored first at the 11-minute mark, with Curtis Langdon finishing a rolling maul for a try. George Ford successfully converted, putting England ahead 7-0[1][2].

The Eagles were reduced to 14 men after Chris Hilsenbeck was shown a yellow card for a professional foul in the 10th minute, giving England a man advantage[1][2]. Shortly thereafter, England seized the momentum, with Northmore exploiting a gap following a set move from a 5-meter scrum, scoring England’s second try. Ford added the extras, stretching England’s lead to 14-0 at 18 minutes[2][4].

England—despite missing several players due to British & Irish Lions commitments—have maintained dominance, fielding a squad led by George Ford and featuring several changes from their recent tests against Argentina. The USA, currently ranked 16th in the world and coming off a loss to Spain, have struggled historically against England, losing all seven previous encounters[1][3][6].

By the 21st minute, England’s structured play and set-piece execution have kept them firmly in control, while the USA continue to seek a breakthrough and improve discipline. The weather at Audi Field has held steady, with hopes that rain will not disrupt play[2].

The match is available for streaming on the England Rugby YouTube channel in the UK and on Paramount+ in the US. England look to close out their tour undefeated, while the Eagles aim to achieve their first ever victory over England[3][5].
