Would we have predicted that? Possibly.
We said pre-game that Fiji would do things that pose England a physical threat and they did. Some worldy stuff at times for Fiji.
The only difference between the two teams at the minute is off the kicking tee.

Here are those two moments involving Immanuel Feyi-Waboso towards the end of the first half - the sin bin for Selestino Ravutaumada and the try that put England into a half-time lead.

With a player off, the line short, England were patient and Fiji were compromised defensively. Feyi-Waboso deserved his try.
Before his try, both Matt Dawson and Paul Grayson credit Immanuel Feyi-Waboso for his reaction to the yellow card incident a few moments before.
He could have easily stayed down longer after being caught in the air but he was very quickly up on his feet and it might have saved Selestino Ravutaumada from a harsher punishment.
Anyway, it's half-time now at Allianz Stadium and England lead by a point.

Immanuel Feyi-Waboso (con Fin Smith)
Fin Smith kicks out wide to Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and the Exeter wing touches down.
England score immediately after getting that one-man advantage.
Smith kicks the extras from the touchline and England have the lead once more as the clock ticks towards 40 minutes.

Ooof - could be trouble.
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso is taken out in the air by Selestino Ravutaumada as he attempts to claim a high kick.
The Fiji winger gets a yellow card and that'll be reviewed in the bunker.

Sweet Caroline comes on.
A way to increase the energy on the pitch? It feels like England need something.

Fiji are averaging six and a half points every time they go into England's 22.

Almost a carbon copy of a passage of play from about 15 minutes ago as Marcus Smith kicks low and ahead for Tommy Freeman to chase, but it drifts just across the sideline.
An arm up towards Freeman and a bit of frustration from the Harlequins man.
England have had 75% of territory, but it's Fiji who have taken their chances.

Marcus Smith and Alex Mitchell... weak links again. Such a shame when there are better players available.
Stevo, Cheltenham
Well it hasn't taken Fin Smith long to revert to just aimlessly kicking the ball away. Against literally the worst team to do that.

England's record in 2025 before today read: played nine, won eight.
Just the one defeat in Dublin for Steve Borthwick's side so far this year.
Some work to do if they're going to avoid a second.

The body position of the Fiji players, they have their hands on hips, bent over. They need these points.
Caleb Muntz
An infringement at the ruck by England and Fiji have a chance to extend their lead by three.
Caleb Muntz has missed his first two kicks from the tee but there's no mistake on this occasion.

The instinct from Fiji is incredible, of course it stems from this sevens mentality they've had for decades.

Now then England, what's your response to that?
Immanuel Feyi-Waboso stretches his legs for the first time to get England into Fiji territory, but Fiji get the ball back soon afterwards and that passage of play ends with a penalty to the men in sky blue on their own 22.

That is two misses off the tee for Fiji. You can't afford many more to beat England away from home.

Fiji lead at Allianz Stadium!
Josua Tuisova's magnificent initial burst in midfield gets Fiji on the front foot, a few phases later they're on the left touchline and fly-half Caleb Muntz gets on the end of a Simione Kuruvoli chip kick to score a brilliant try.

Some quality hits flying in...
Selestino Ravutaumada nailed Tommy Freeman earlier with a superb tackle.

After seeing off another England attack, Fiji show they're prepared to throw the ball around with a couple of nice offloads.
England get a put-in at a scrum near halfway and eventually Marcus Smith tries a low kick through for Tommy Freeman to chase - it dribbles out of play but England have Fiji penned back near their own line once more.
