England began their summer rugby tour with a commanding 52-17 victory over Japan in Tokyo. Marcus Smith was instrumental, scoring one try and setting up two others. England's performance was highlighted by tries from Chandler Cunningham-South, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, and Henry Slade. Despite a spirited start from Japan, England's clinical execution saw them pull away. The match was notable for the return of Eddie Jones as Japan's head coach, facing his former team. Charlie Ewels received a red card, his second in consecutive tests, likely ruling him out for the rest of the tour. Jamie George praised Eddie Jones post-match. Yoshitaka Yazaki and Samisoni Tua earned their first caps for Japan. Michael Leitch was also a notable performer. This victory sets a positive tone for England ahead of their upcoming tests against New Zealand.

Wales coach Warren Gatland on the 41-13 defeat to South Africa: โThere were lots of good things out there and lots of positives we can build on. We defended well at times and I thought Dewi Lake was outstanding in terms of his carrying.

That's now red cards in back-to-back Tests for Charlie Ewels with England (his last Test was Ireland 2022). Assuming that's a first.
Charlie Ewels' yellow upgraded to red. That means (news from the #statcave) he has been sent off in consecutive England Tests - his last coming v Ireland in the 2022 Six Nations. You'd expect a ban, and that to be his tour, I'm afraid. Come on down Richard Smith KC. @TimesSport
