England vs USA betting preview

England have never before lost to the USA

England began their 2019 Rugby World Cup campaign with a scratchy 35-3 win over Tonga on Sunday, and coach Eddie Jones was clearly frustrated in the stands at the Sapporo Dome. It took until the 77th minute for England to bag their fourth try and gain a bonus point and they fell short of a 44-point handicap. Star centre Manu Tuilagi stepped up in a big way, putting up two tries and skipper Owen Farrell tacked on another 15 points. But the amount of handling errors and misplaced passes against Tonga underlined significant improvement will be necessary to threaten the likes of holders New Zealand. Hence, the Lions are expected to approach the game with different personnel.

Manager Eddie Jones has made 10 changes from the Tonga victory, with only Billy Vunipola, George Ford, Joe Marler, Tom Curry and Elliot Daly remaining Luke Cowan-Dickie will start at hooker, with Dan Cole at prop and Joe Launchbury and Joe Kruis in the second-row ahead of a backline. George Ford is partnered by Willi Heinzin the halfbacks, with Piers Francis named at inside center. It’s Jonathan Joseph outside him, with two new wingers in Bath pair Joe Cokanasiga and Ruaridh McConnochie.

England Starting Line-up

1 Joe Marler, 2 Luke Cowan-Dickie, 3 Dan Cole, 4 Joe Launchbury, 5 George Kruis, 6 Tom Curry, 7 Lewis Ludlam, 8 Billy Vunipola, 9 Willi Heinz, 10 George Ford (capt.), 11 Joe Cokanasiga, 12 Piers Francis, 13 Jonathan Joseph, 14 Ruaridh McConnochie, 15 Elliot Daly

Replacements: 16 Jack Singleton, 17 Ellis Genge, 18 Kyle Sinckler, 19 Courtney Lawes, 20 Mark Wilson, 21 Ben Youngs, 22 Owen Farrell, 23 Anthony Watson

USA are huge outsiders against England despite 4 Premiership players in their roster

USA have upped their game in recent years. They have won the Americas Rugby Championship two of the last three years and it was just last month they had a strong showing at the Pacific Nations Cup, including a close 13-10 win over Samoa. Last time on the pitch, the USA Men’s Eagles made it three for three in matches with rivals Canada this year. The Eagles have won only three World Cup games and have never come close to reaching the knockout stages.

Led by Captain Blaine Scully in his third World Cup, fourteen players will make their Rugby World Cup debut for the Eagles. Among them is hooker Joe Taufete’e, the highest scoring hooker in international rugby. A major boost to the side is found in the second row as Nick Civetta has remarkably recovered from a dislocated ankle suffered against Canada in late July to take his place in the run-on side. 19-year-old David Ainu’u is a surprise choice to start at loosehead. Flyhalf AJ MacGinty is one of a number of British born players picked for the USA roster, which also includes John Quill and Dylan Fawsitt.

USA Starting Line-up

1 David Ainu’u, 2 Joe Taufete’e, 3 Titi Lamositele, 4 Ben Landry, 5 Nick Civetta, 6 Tony Lamborn, 7 John Quill, 8 Cam Dolan, 9 Shaun Davies, 10 AJ MacGinty, 11 Martin Iosefo, 12 Paul Lasike, 13 Marcel Brache, 14 Blaine Scully (capt.), 15 Will Hooley

Replacements: 16 Dylan Fawsitt, 17 Olive Kilifi, 18 Paul Mullen, 19 Greg Peterson, 20 Hanco Germishuys, 21 Ruben de Haas, 22 Bryce Campbell, 23 Mike Te’o

England vs USA H2H

The Eagles have never beaten England in the previous 5 direct encounters. These two teams last faced one another in a World Cup in 2007 when England won 28-10 in Lens, France. Much has changed for American rugby since the last time the USA and England have faced one another. Rugby is becoming very populare in the States and the national team is rapidly improving.
