Jamie George became the first England hooker to score a hat-trick of tries in a Test match as the Six Nations champions opened their Autumn Nations Cup campaign with a comfortable 40-0 win over Georgia at Twickenham on Saturday.

England scored six tries in total, with the match over as a contest at half-time after they led 26-0.

Jack Willis marked his Test debut with the opening try before George crossed twice and full-back Elliot Daly went over.
