Yes JW one would think England should win this. Nevertheless Fiji are not complete no hopes. England will need to play well to win.

England as favourites, but Fiji could win. England have been patchy at best, but their pack is usually solid.
Fiji will want to get an early lead, because the England pack should dominate the 2nd half for sure.
Well if their cricket team can lose to Afghanistan there's no reason to think their rugby team can't lose to Fiji.
NH ref Beeno, what are your thoughts on that?
Fiji have 5 backs over 100 kg. The one center is 113kg. Okay 1 wing is 99kg.
England back three have their work cut out.
Fiji patient and get the turnover.
Fiji beat England for the first time ever during this summer as both sides finalised their World Cup 2023 preparations.
Stransky Pearl….Fiji they are all so strong, they are all so powerful.
Fiji looking very competitive. Looks like it's going to a great game.
JW stop suggesting the ref won't be fair.
JW whinging already! 
England losing the ball at the breakdown.
Remember Agincourt England!
Poms going to kick 3. Fiji have to get some early points to have a chance.
England starting very well. Forward pack is looking too strong
Tuilagi shows real intent.
England sink penalty.
England score.
England are up for this. Tugs runs straught through the Fiji oaks. Something ou Mozzzzz looks down upon. Hahahahaha.
England lead 8 nil
Geez Beeno your feed is 10 minutes behind the times.
Possible yellow
Fiji get 3!
They seem to be less aggressive about the cards in the quarters.
Yes I seem to be way behind.
Rebooting. England land penalty Fiji kick off.
Fiji with a yellow. Let's hope it dosen't become red.
Thankfully. All these cards wreck a game. That said the wee abs got 2 yellows. Still won.
Fiji miss another kick. Curves away quite sharply.
Great try by Fiji with one man down.
Fiji get good bounce and score.
England lead 15_10
Man those Pom forwards are unlikeable taunting their opponents,
Farrel takes his time with the kick which helps run down the clock on the yellow.
Fiji pushed Lawes head down after that tackle. They are tradionally a pretty dirty team.
Another penalty to England.
England lead 21 to 10
You turncoat Beeno. Poms are taunting Fiji and generally being bad sports.
Fiji losing their heads. To many silly errors.
Ref telling to put the ball in straight in the scrum. Since when have they enforced that rule?
England complaining to the ref, what a bunch of whiners!
Hehehehe. JW thinks my supporting England is a devasting blow to Fiji.
JW I was hoping for a SH clean sweep but watching Fiji play brings back too many bad memories of dirty play against the Boks.
Seems the ref knows the ball should be put in straight. Good for him. Hahahahahaha.
Well Fiji are not out of it yet JW so cheer up mate.
Tuilagi and Marchant are a potent centre pairing. They probably have their team about right….although their scrumming still looks very vulnerable
Beeno, please don't use the supposed Fijian tactics of the past for your current mental state.
JW the Elephant never forgets.
We also have a with Farrell.
Just tuned in. Looks like England is in die driving seat.
Fiji kicking poorly.
They are tradionally a pretty dirty team.
Beanbag, must you be educated yet again? They are the least dirty of the Islanders. I noticed the difference, but didn't fully understand a few things until talking to an actual Fijian. They are Micronesian, not Polynesian. They lack that aggression of Polynesians.
Think Fiji has kicked more since the start of the half than they normally do in a whole game.
Chip over the top and massive obstruction by Fiji wiping out several players.
Doos when it comes to rugby education you are like a half baked potato.
But I will give you they haven't been too bad so far.
I swear, Owen Faggirl makes this entire English side unlikeable.
It's like you have that asshole your group but he's your asshole, but Owen is the type that nobody wants, he's just a universal asshole.
I don't think I've ever disliked a player as much.
True Plum
Since I last saw them play Fiji set pieces much better.
Well this ain't NZ/Ireland, that's for sure.
Fiji may have to resort to their old style and throw the ball around to get some scores.
Poms sink penalty and lead 24 - 10.
Same old boring Pom rugby, let's hope the next game is better.
Plum, Farrell is the Gavin Henson of English rugby.
Just little things messing up Fiji.
Fiji bumping into defenders instead of letting the ball do the work. Just slowing their own attacking momentum down.
Handbags
Fijian palm sandwich with some Curry
Great game so far. England forwards performing heroically
Fijians reverting to type. More dirty play. 
JW please condemn the dirty play be Fiji. Look how they grabbed that poor oaks leg!
Marcus Smith proving he isn’t lacking in guts….taken some huge hits
Go England you are almost there.
Try Fiji!!
Just two scores and it's a game again, Fiji. And there's the first.
Beeno your bumboy Farrell can't hear you shouting, might as well support Fiji.
24-17. Game on.
Fiji score. England lead 24 - 17.
That England line looks lekker offside.
I fell aleep, but woke up now
Haha, the power of the offload. Fiji in again! Go boys.
Fiji another try, They should be able to covert this one to make it a draw!
Fiji strike again.
Are England not fit enough. Time will tell.
Hope Rasnaber is watching. Offloads break things open.
You are jinxing them Beeno, keep going.
Falling off too many tackles as England rumbles.
England sink drop goal. Lead by 3.
Droppie. Kinda lame but okay, now Fiji can go score a try again.
A cheap drop goal by Poms
Not sure taking 3 and getting Fiji back in your half is a good trade off at this stage.
Pakster thst wors didn't agree with you. Hallucinations.
The Force is strong in the Wors, Beeno.
Come Fiji, you can't lose to a droppie.
Fiji getting too cute.
Penalty in front of post. England lead by 6.
Penalty Poms. Might be the end for Fiji now. 30-24.
Come on Fiji. Poms still whining.
Fiji can feed the scrum 30m out. One last chance.
Last chance Fiji.
Man those skip passes do no good.
Fiji looking so disjointed and uncertain out back.
Penalty to Fiji.
Another last chance!
Farrell penalized, Fiji lives.
Disgusting. Yellow card! Farrell as well.
Well, Fiji gave it a good shot. Good try boys.
England win. Meh. Boks better win tonight cause it's been a somewhat crappy quarters for me.
Close game, well done England
Beeno's golden support wins it for England.
Very hard fought win.
Fiji scored some good tries but they looked so flat and toothless in the backline for the most part.
Hard luck Fiji. What a performance by the tiny nation.
not to be...great comeback.
I agree Rooi, I think they were worried about out running their support players so they didn't go wide or try a lot of individual stuff in the backs. Fear of the turnover is a real concern.
The curtain raiser is over oaks. We now move into the Big League. Two possible finalist clash in tbe quarters.
Well, we made hard work of that but just squeaked the result at the end.
Not looking forward to the Semi Final but at least we got this far which many thought impossible pre tournament.
