| Robbie Burrows has made a big difference mixing it up giving Chase a bit more time and space.
Fiji have lost there defensive line all because England have upped the tempo.

No. I think he is our best attacking option and should play stand off or maybe centre. It's a waste playing him at fullback, especially with his weak defence of kicks.

i would agree with you if he was truly weak under a high ball or with kicks but he is not. as proved at the end of the game then and with a couple of other kicks.
more space opened up in the 2nd half and Rangi chase got better for it but against aus and a lesser effect new zealand it will resemble the 1st half. Tom Briscoe isn't better than charnley either.
Burrows isn't big enough in defense against aus and nz, Inglis, jennings and sonny bill running at him will hurt us.
But much improved 2nd half well done England.

| 20-25 minute England blitz killed Fiji. They couldn't get hold of the ball. Still plenty of Inprovment, particularly when we're 20m out and we aren't running through defences.
Also fed up of hearing the referees whistles in this tournament. Every game has had about 20+ penalties.

| Taking the Wigan players off made all the difference. McIlorum is not so much a poor man's Isaac Luke as a bankrupt, destitute, poverty stricken, impoverished one. O'L did nothing of note. Farrell is not big enough at this level. I'm not sure of Burrow but you can guarantee he will be on the end of any half break. Chase & Sinfield grew as the game went on. Excellent defence from both too.

| I still can't see England beating the Kiwis, especially with both the Kiwi halves, plus Sonny Bill Williams, and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck in such devastating form.
I expect a resentful and bitter Sam Burgess to get involved in some really dirty play and fisticuffs as Sonny Bill makes a fool of him.

| Good win for England. Thought they bossed the field position and possession in the first 25 minutes and on another day they would have been a couple of scores up but credit to Fiji, they defended their line well and came back to go in front
The English forwards were always going to grind down Fiji though as they were making more metres and completing more sets, just a matter of time before the dam broke and England got on a roll
I though the front row were excellent and should be the prop rotation for the rest of the tournament. Westwood and Ferres worked hard again while O’Loughlin will continue to improve. Roby will be back at 9 for the quarter final and we may have seen the end of Widdop on the bench and Sinfield going to hooker, we will probably see Roby and one of Burrow or McIlorum on the bench
The halves continue to improve and Chase is clearly building confidence
All in all a good workout and a good win

very poor prediction, it was 22 points. You should be ashamed of yourself

| Im happy with that.fiji were always going to be a handful first half.hill was impressive when he came on.for me,I would start with him and graham with sam burgess into the back row.
Roby should get the 9 shirt back and Burrow again proved what most Leeds fans have known for ages,his best role is impact off the bench.on the whole things building nicely to one hell of a game at wembley in a fortnight.
