Overview
- England defeated Fiji 73-8 at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool on Saturday, scoring 11 tries and finishing with a record margin over Fiji.
- Fiji played the entire second half with 14 men after scrum-half Simione Kuruvoli was sent off for kicking Ellis Genge, and the visitors conceded 12 penalties, nine by half-time.
- England's forwards largely decided the contest by dominating scrums and driving mauls, which limited the need to move the ball wide and created repeated scoring platforms.
- Replacement flanker Henry Pollock completed a hat-trick, Fin Smith converted nine kicks, and several bench players including Benhard Janse van Rensburg and Noah Caluori added tries.
- The result ends England's short slump with their first win in six Tests and only their second victory of 2026 and sets a firmer selection and tactical base ahead of the Argentina fixtures.
