England's rugby team put on a commanding performance against the USA, cruising to a 40-5 victory in a match plagued by sweltering heat and lightning delays in Washington DC. While the US women’s team managed a hard-fought 31-24 win over Fiji, the men’s side was thoroughly outplayed. England’s coach, Steve Borthwick, praised his team for handling the brutal weather conditions well.

Editor’s Note: This wasn’t just a routine win—it was a statement. England’s dominance, despite the grueling weather, shows their depth and adaptability, while the US men’s struggles highlight the gap they still need to close. For rugby fans, it’s a reminder of how unpredictable (and sweaty) summer matches can be.
