It has been a fast-paced first half at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham.

England ran in eight tries – Will Joseph scoring four of them after four-years out of the squad – but only three were converted from George Ford who returned to the flyhalf position over Marcus Smith on the bench.

Japan seemed at a loss after the opening two minutes which saw an early try from the hosts and a 20-minute red card for the visitors. Despite regrouping towards the end of the first half, the visitors seemed unable to make an impact on the first 40-minutes.
