England ended their five-match losing run with a nine-try hammering of Eddie Jones' Japan at Twickenham's Allianz Stadium this morning.
The 59-14 victory marked the first and only win of a difficult Autumn Nation Series campaign for Steve Borthwick's side after close defeats by New Zealand, Australia and South Africa.
Captain Jamie George scored twice in a clinical opening period, which saw Ben Earl, Sam Underhill, and Ollie Sleightholme also grab tries.
The Brave Blossoms managed one eye-catching score in the first half through captain Naoto Saito.
Full-back George Furbank gathered Tommy Freeman's sublime behind-the-back pass to score England's sixth try in the second half before replacement hooker Luke Cowan-Dickie burrowed over the line for the first of his two tries.
Flanker Kazuki Himeno's try gave Jones' side a deserved second-half score, but the hosts finished the strongest with Tom Roebuck adding to Cowan-Dickie's score for his first international try.
It was Borthwick's side's first win since June when they comfortably beat Japan 52-17 in Tokyo.
