England beats Japan 59-14 to end five-match losing streak and ruin Eddie Jones’ return to Twickenham

Associated Press  

LONDON — England’s rugby team ended its five-match losing streak in fine style by running in nine tries to beat Eddie Jones’ Japan 59-14 on Sunday. Captain Jamie George scored two of England’s five tries in the first half and there were four more after the break at Twickenham, with Luke Cowan-Dickie — the replacement hooker for George — crossing twice. The three southern hemisphere powers had already stormed Twickenham to place England head coach Steve Borthwick under pressure heading into the Six Nations, with his record for 2024 reading five victories in 12 matches. England, playing in its red change jerseys, made ground with every attack and the alarm bells started ringing for Japan when Sam Underhill forced his way over following muscular work from his pack.
