England's winning streak continued as they defeated Fiji 38-18 at Twickenham, their ninth consecutive test victory. Despite a strong challenge from the Pacific Islanders, England managed to pull away in the second half, securing a 6-try win. The match was marked by a thrilling back-and-forth battle, with Fiji's powerful maul try and a penalty from Caleb Muntz putting them ahead 13-7 in the first half. However, a yellow card to Fiji's Selestino Ravutaumada and subsequent tries from England gave the home team a narrow 21-18 lead at halftime. England's dominance was cemented in the second half, with tries from Ollie Lawrence, Ellis Genge, and Jamie George, as well as a penalty, putting them firmly in control. Fiji's attempts to mount a comeback were hindered by Tuisova's sin-binning and Muntz's injury, allowing England to seal the win. The victory marked England's longest winning streak in eight years and sets them up for their next challenge against Grand Slam-chasing New Zealand. Fiji, meanwhile, ended their chance to win six tests in a row for the first time, with their loss to England. The match was praised for its high-intensity gameplay, with England's standout player, Ben Earl, describing it as 'one of the hardest games of rugby I have had to play'.
