England hooker Jamie George speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "It wasn't perfect by any means, there is plenty to learn from it. I thought it was a perfect test for us, we can learn a lot from the way Fiji play and how they came alive with the ball.

Prior to this meeting, England had won eight of their nine games with Fiji - most recently winning 30-24 in the quarter-finals of the 2023 World Cup. That one defeat came at Twickenham two months prior to the tournament in France and was a major turning point under Borthwick.
