Fiji made history and beat England for the first time with a 30-22 success in their final Rugby World Cup warm-up match at Twickenham; Steve Borthwick has defended his coaching team and players after losing to Fiji for the first time heading into the Rugby World Cup.
A 30-22 defeat by Fiji was their first loss to the Islanders in eight meetings and the first time they have fallen to a current tier-two team, with the result expected to plunge them to an all-time lowest position of ninth in the global rankings.
The worst possible build-up to the World Cup has seen Borthwick’s team win three times in nine Tests and their critical Pool D opener against Argentina is only a fortnight away.
