Positive takeaways are few and far between for the USA Rugby squad, as England rugby absolutely obliterated the Eagles in both teams' summer test finale.  

While lightning delays marred the game, England maintained focus and scored at will for most of the match, running up the score to 40-5, nearly shutting out the Americans. 

The Eagles were able to score in the waning moments of the game, their only points of the match. 

With England's summer tests officially over, the team will shift its focus to the Autumn Nations in the fall, with games against Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and Argentina highlighting the series. 

USA will prepare for the Pacific Nations Cup, which is a Rugby World Cup qualification tournament. 

The Eagles have never defeated England in eight meetings, including the last match in 2021, which England won 43-29.
