England coach Eddie Jones was not happy as his playmaker Owen Farrell was left with "half his nose missing" after a horror head clash in the big Rugby World Cup win over the United States.

American flanker John Quill was shown a straight red – the first of the tournament – for his dangerous challenge on centre Farrell in the 71st minute as England scored seven tries in a 45‑7 to top Pool C.

Jones says two games with 10 points – no major injuries adding Owen just has half his nose missing and apart from that pretty good.

Looking at games coming up tomorrow, Argentina takes on Tonga at 4.45pm, Japan faces Ireland at 7.15pm while South Africa faces Namibia at 9.45pm.
