England v Fiji

:00:25. > :00:36.PS going on his own and he is going to school at! And he goes! Here is a

:00:37. > :01:22.try, coming down. No World Cup wins in England in both

:01:23. > :01:27.1995 and 2000 but this Fijian team are very physical and should pose a

:01:28. > :01:30.threat. Steve McNamara's men will be worthy of an upset as illegitimate

:01:31. > :01:39.they're placed in a group the world final. We are expecting a sell-out

:01:40. > :01:45.crowd here at the KC Stadium and with me is a former England captain,

:01:46. > :01:51.Jamie Peacock. England national Jon Wilkin and Brian Noble. Before we

:01:52. > :01:55.talk about the game, some sad news from the world of Rugby League.

:01:56. > :02:00.Steve Prescott has passed away. The St Helens Andrew Wakefield full back

:02:01. > :02:06.has been battling a rare form of stomach cancer. Brian, he has been

:02:07. > :02:14.an inspirational figure in that battle? Extremely sad time. It is

:02:15. > :02:18.hard not to reflect on the bravery he has had and the courage he had

:02:19. > :02:26.four other people and the example and inspiration he has given.

:02:27. > :02:30.Infighting and with his battle. Wearside and extremely upset, but it

:02:31. > :02:34.is important we take his legacy and all the brilliant things he did in

:02:35. > :02:38.his latter years to inspire us to live with a smile on our face and

:02:39. > :02:48.understand the courage that he has shown. You got to know him very well

:02:49. > :02:55.at St Helens? Yes, devastating news. As a friend, to just be given the

:02:56. > :03:00.privilege to cross paths with him for that short time that I did. That

:03:01. > :03:03.was a huge honour for me. He is an example of human insurance and we

:03:04. > :03:09.all have the spirit to ensure tough times in our lives and Steve,

:03:10. > :03:18.against all advice, he had that injury and is and my thoughts go to

:03:19. > :03:26.his wife and kids and from everybody who has ever known him. As Brian

:03:27. > :03:30.mentioned, his memory will injury through the actions he did and the

:03:31. > :03:37.amazing feats he achieved with his illness. Just desperately

:03:38. > :03:42.disappointing and a sad day for everybody who knows Steve. It is

:03:43. > :03:47.hard news to deal with. But the research of positive message to come

:03:48. > :03:51.out of this going forward. Everybody talks about the Rugby League family

:03:52. > :03:54.but his family will gather around and he gathered that factory --

:03:55. > :04:01.family in raising money in battling cancer? He was a great layer. But he

:04:02. > :04:07.was also a great man of the pitch. And great men leave long-lasting

:04:08. > :04:12.impacts and I think that Steve will. He was kind, courageous and brave

:04:13. > :04:17.and his charity work will go on for a lifetime. And he will be

:04:18. > :04:21.remembered in one-minute silence that we will have for remembrance

:04:22. > :04:29.weekend. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad

:04:30. > :04:35.time. Brian, today's game. We are expecting something pretty physical?

:04:36. > :04:37.We have just seen the Aegean team and we're usually quite impressed

:04:38. > :04:44.with the size of the England team but watch out, this is a physical

:04:45. > :04:47.matchup. The Aegean 's fancy this a little bit with the noises coming

:04:48. > :04:53.from their camp suggesting they had saved up for this weekend. This is

:04:54. > :04:57.the big one. England will have to be very good and have to continue that

:04:58. > :05:04.momentum. Looking at the Group A table, it is important that England

:05:05. > :05:10.win this and finished as runners-up? They want to finish in that second

:05:11. > :05:14.spot. That is important but even more important is getting confidence

:05:15. > :05:17.and gathering momentum and going into the big games coming up and

:05:18. > :05:24.stop the quarterfinal at the semifinal. They will be tough. Today

:05:25. > :05:27.is all about the England team producing a polished performance. I

:05:28. > :05:34.bumped into Steve McNamara and he seems very confident that England

:05:35. > :05:40.will start today. The Fijian side have power and strength and

:05:41. > :05:43.physicality. England have got to match that and go over the top of

:05:44. > :05:49.the Fijian pack at the start of this. Look Campbell. Johnny

:05:50. > :05:56.Whiteley, legendary player. Especially in this area. What a

:05:57. > :06:03.wonderful site. That is a cracking Trophy! You politely tipped us off

:06:04. > :06:07.last week that you scored a memorable hat-trick against Fiji in

:06:08. > :06:15.2000? I don't like talking about that! It was a great day for myself.

:06:16. > :06:23.I managed to get the chance to do that as a forward. Like all of my

:06:24. > :06:28.memories of the game, against the Aegean 's. Your dentist has an

:06:29. > :06:36.abiding memory as well! Three of your teeth? Three of my back teeth

:06:37. > :06:41.project. That is what the England boys have got to expect today but

:06:42. > :06:45.you have to just get on with it. You did say last week that it is going

:06:46. > :06:50.to hurt! It'll be like a Test Match, playing a physical side but England

:06:51. > :06:56.are physical and they have Sam Burgess. It will be great. It has

:06:57. > :07:00.been another week of drama and a sell-out crowd in this Rugby League

:07:01. > :07:05.World Cup. Here is Damian Johnson with the midweek action. Narrowly

:07:06. > :07:11.defeated by France in the opening game, New Guinea had to content with

:07:12. > :07:19.two games in five days. First up was some at Craven Park. They proved too

:07:20. > :07:26.strong, however. Frank Winters Dean gathering the hat-trick in this

:07:27. > :07:33.victory. It did not get better in Leeds as a guinea pig on the Kiwis.

:07:34. > :07:40.Billy Williams scored a hat-trick of the was a hint of deja vu about his

:07:41. > :07:46.second. The New Zealanders were easy winners, 56-10. After the opening

:07:47. > :07:52.defeat by Scotland, Tonga faced the Cook Islands on Tuesday, desperate

:07:53. > :08:00.for a victory. They gave themselves hope that that entertaining fixture.

:08:01. > :08:08.-- at an entertaining fixture. Tonga needed this lots to slip up two days

:08:09. > :08:15.later against the USA. Priestley dribbling that through! They got

:08:16. > :08:19.after the possible start, finding themselves age -0 down at half-time

:08:20. > :08:31.of the second half was different. Brett Phillips! Was across to

:08:32. > :08:34.Russell. And he cuts a hole right through the middle. Inspired by

:08:35. > :08:42.Danny Brough, Scotland round rampant. Douglas scoring the third

:08:43. > :08:49.of three tries in 12 minutes. The game was made safe towards the end.

:08:50. > :08:53.But the brave hearts face and actions wait to see if they've

:08:54. > :08:57.qualified. Italy taking on Tonga tomorrow, knowing a win would take

:08:58. > :09:03.them through at the expense of Scotland. This is a table. Better

:09:04. > :09:11.with Group B. The easiest to explain. The USA or the one team to

:09:12. > :09:17.qualify and the reward is added the group winners of Group A, Australia.

:09:18. > :09:23.One team going through from Group C. Either Scotland or Italy. Italy and

:09:24. > :09:29.Tonga play tomorrow. Italy need to win to go through. Group B. France

:09:30. > :09:36.and Samoa play on Monday. England, if they've eat Fiji, they will play

:09:37. > :09:41.the loser of that. We will have highlights of that France game on

:09:42. > :09:49.Monday night on BBC Two at 11:20pm. New Zealand look good last night.

:09:50. > :09:53.Williams was excellent. But he almost slipped up and did not get

:09:54. > :10:01.the ball down? You could see the smile on his face. He gave a

:10:02. > :10:07.masterclass, particularly in the first-half. He ran the ball, he

:10:08. > :10:13.passed the ball. He showed up in the middle and standard left-hand side.

:10:14. > :10:16.We were all hoping for more embarrassment but he managed to get

:10:17. > :10:22.that down in the end. He has got some great tackle. Williams gets the

:10:23. > :10:30.headlines but behind him is a very strong physical pack. Very difficult

:10:31. > :10:41.to stop, once New Zealand get on that front foot. He made some great

:10:42. > :10:46.decisions last night as well. In the first 30 minutes, that was perfect

:10:47. > :10:51.preparation for what they want to complete. Those big boys in the

:10:52. > :11:03.middle. It was a conveyor belt of big blokes. Including releasing them

:11:04. > :11:08.on the fringes at the right times. We have heard a lot about the

:11:09. > :11:14.Burgess brothers. But the Fijian is how much real of their own. Damian

:11:15. > :11:25.Johnson has been to meet them. I am Korbin Sims and I play for Fiji. Who

:11:26. > :11:35.is the most competitive? He gets pretty aggressive sometimes. Tariq

:11:36. > :11:41.Sims, second row. Who takes a longer is to get ready for any night out?

:11:42. > :11:47.Probably Korbin Sims. The quickest is Ashton Sims. Korbin takes the

:11:48. > :12:01.longest. His hygiene is not number one! Coming from Dragon breath!

:12:02. > :12:04.Ashton Sims, front row. There are so many brothers and the different

:12:05. > :12:13.teams. There must be so many proud families out there. Nearly one in

:12:14. > :12:24.every team. Better with the ladies? Definitely Korbin Sims! I can get up

:12:25. > :12:27.and down the field! Yes! Please! Potentially, up against the Burgess

:12:28. > :12:32.brothers. You know them from Australia. Hopefully there will be a

:12:33. > :12:36.point in this game and all three are on the field with us and that would

:12:37. > :12:42.be good. I know that we will not take any backwards step and now the

:12:43. > :12:48.will they. Out of the three of us, Korbin Sims is the biggest. He is

:12:49. > :12:52.too busy with the ladies! Fiji were the surprise of 2008. You were

:12:53. > :12:57.there. Is the feeling even better than that? Certainly, I told them we

:12:58. > :13:02.had the better squad on paper. We have more experience this time and

:13:03. > :13:09.we have something special. I am looking forward to giving this World

:13:10. > :13:23.Cup a good shake-up. Who is the heaviest? May! Yes! The real daddy

:13:24. > :13:29.of the team is the receiver? He is the Boss? We still check ourselves

:13:30. > :13:35.for training and egg cannot believe that Petero Civoniceva was there. To

:13:36. > :13:41.be playing alongside him. There was a World Cup and everything can

:13:42. > :13:44.happen. There is talk about us and there are a lot of good players on

:13:45. > :13:48.both teams. We will not take this step back. Neither will they. It

:13:49. > :14:04.will be a really good game. There is no Tom Burgess for England,

:14:05. > :14:07.we have got George and Sam and an amazing 15 sets of brothers in this

:14:08. > :14:15.World Cup. Is a genetic engineering going on? ! Nature and nurture. If

:14:16. > :14:20.you have the right genetic code, you had a good chance of making it.

:14:21. > :14:27.There are a lot of NRL players. Lots of experience. Lots of quality. That

:14:28. > :14:32.is where England are taking them seriously and Fiji fancy their

:14:33. > :14:37.chances. They played too defensively against Australia did not go out to

:14:38. > :14:46.try and win. This game, they fancy they can win it. But on the wing, he

:14:47. > :14:52.is a big loss? He could score from anywhere. We were talking before, do

:14:53. > :14:57.you keep the ball? Keep the ball away from him. But he is not

:14:58. > :15:01.featuring today and that is a big loss for Fiji. But they still have

:15:02. > :15:08.got plenty in their arsenal to test England. I expect a very big battle

:15:09. > :15:14.up front. The Burgess boys, they will not step back. Fireworks, that

:15:15. > :15:24.would suggest. We had word that the coach is resting Akuila Uate. Robbie

:15:25. > :15:29.has the game plan. Fiji have come do this as underdogs but they have

:15:30. > :15:35.enough talent within these ranks and the potential banana skin is from

:15:36. > :15:41.the middle of the park, by the Rugby League legend, Petero Civoniceva. He

:15:42. > :15:46.will be supported by the giant brothers, Ashton Sims, Tariq Sims

:15:47. > :15:50.and Korbin Sims. Their job is to punch holes into the English defence

:15:51. > :15:56.and if they can do that well, they will be able to set up their plays.

:15:57. > :16:00.They will also need to absorb all about English offence coming at them

:16:01. > :16:14.because England have gone for size. It is up to these boys to do the

:16:15. > :16:19.job. It has been a tricky week for England at -- after Zak Hardaker

:16:20. > :16:24.withdrew from the squad on Monday. We will talk about Fiji in a moment.

:16:25. > :16:30.What does it mean for you personally to be leading your country out? It

:16:31. > :16:36.is great. The Hull public, they love sport and rugby league in

:16:37. > :16:41.particular. To come out and coach country in your hometown, it is

:16:42. > :16:45.great. What about the opposition? You know it will be a physical

:16:46. > :16:51.encounter. How do you prepare for that in training? Were aware of the

:16:52. > :16:55.physical threats that Fiji bring. We think we have a physical threat

:16:56. > :17:02.ourselves. We have been preparing well from this tournament since our

:17:03. > :17:06.last game. There is a sense of brotherhood about the Fijian team.

:17:07. > :17:12.We spoke to the Sims Brothers earlier. Yes, they are terrific boys

:17:13. > :17:22.and they have done well for raising this tournament. It is a really

:17:23. > :17:28.close-knit community. They have a strong face as well. We enjoy each

:17:29. > :17:36.other's company. There are 23 players in the squad. I do convince

:17:37. > :17:39.their together? Yes, 100%. They are tremendously talented. The urge

:17:40. > :17:51.united and determined to do well in the competition. We have a

:17:52. > :17:57.magnificent sight. The red Devils parachute team are bringing in the

:17:58. > :18:02.match ball. Amazingly, they are all managing to land on the pitch. It is

:18:03. > :18:06.incredible stuff to watch. Let's have a look at the England team.

:18:07. > :18:15.What strikes you about the side that Steve McNamara has selected? There

:18:16. > :18:23.are couple of changes. Michael McIllorum is having a crack in the

:18:24. > :18:33.middle. We'll have to see what Rob Burrow offer. He is a threat. Liam

:18:34. > :18:46.Farrell is on the bench. They do not like size. -- lack size. You spoke

:18:47. > :18:51.to Zak Hardaker this week. What did you have to say Tim? He knows that

:18:52. > :18:55.he has done things that do not live up to the standards of England. He

:18:56. > :19:02.is looking forward to getting back out there and playing well for

:19:03. > :19:07.Leeds. Let's speak about Michael McIllorum who has come into the

:19:08. > :19:15.side. He has had a fantastic season in super league. Yes. Michael

:19:16. > :19:21.McIllorum is a slightly different player from the others available. He

:19:22. > :19:26.has some of the best statistics in terms of tackles, carries, meter is

:19:27. > :19:32.made with the ball, the volume of work he can get through. He allows

:19:33. > :19:44.other players to be fresh for longer periods. He is really smart with the

:19:45. > :19:49.ball. A key part of how England play today will be Mac alone. I will be

:19:50. > :19:53.excited to watch Sam Burgess in the middle of the field as a prop. I

:19:54. > :19:58.think that is the way that England should way for the rest of the World

:19:59. > :20:04.Cup. You can see the England dressing room, and in the bottom

:20:05. > :20:08.corner, you can see Rangi Chase. He is from New Zealand, but he is at

:20:09. > :20:15.the heart of this England team. Yorkshire has become his home. He

:20:16. > :20:32.has been talking about what England means to him.

:20:33. > :20:46.I came over as a 22-year-old. I did not really have any instruction in

:20:47. > :20:50.my life off the field. Then I met my wife, and we had a kid, and it

:20:51. > :21:00.changed me. I have a whole different outlook on life. All I am worried

:21:01. > :21:08.about is my family. I want to put my family first. I am not worried about

:21:09. > :21:14.partying and drinking. It has improved me as a person, my

:21:15. > :21:18.confidence. Rangi Chase, this is what he does. What was your reaction

:21:19. > :21:25.when you were asked to play for England? I saw my long-term future

:21:26. > :21:34.here. I wanted to represent England. This is home for me. You came in for

:21:35. > :21:40.a lot of criticism when you did come in. How tough was that to take? Yes,

:21:41. > :21:48.it was difficult, but I'm committed to the cause. I wanted to do it for

:21:49. > :21:57.my family, for my little boy. The runners are coming, and Rangi Chase

:21:58. > :22:01.is after it. He got there first. How do you reflect on the weekend's

:22:02. > :22:07.performance against Ireland? From your own point of view, your best

:22:08. > :22:14.performance in an England shirt? Yes, I would agree. We had a lot

:22:15. > :22:23.more ball than them. The more touches I get, the easier it is to

:22:24. > :22:27.get into the game. You have got to adapt and play the way that suits

:22:28. > :22:34.the team. Sometimes I might have to push and support. That is the way it

:22:35. > :22:42.goes. Everyone in the squad is pretty dominant at club level. Play

:22:43. > :22:48.revolves around them. It is getting the mixture right. Lots of people do

:22:49. > :22:53.not see the work that goes on off the ball for each other. He is bound

:22:54. > :23:02.to have a big part to play, but that is the Fiji dressing room. In the

:23:03. > :23:08.middle, Ashton Sims. You have picked out Ashton Sims against Sam Burgess

:23:09. > :23:09.as your big head-to-head. Yes. I think that Sam Burgess will lead the

:23:10. > :23:16.battle for England. as your big head-to-head. Yes. I

:23:17. > :23:19.think that Sam Burgess will lead He will be looking to play the ball

:23:20. > :23:26.very quickly. Ashton Sims is very similar. They have both played

:23:27. > :23:30.around 200 career games. Both will be looking to inspire their team

:23:31. > :23:36.through physicality. They are both imposing players. They have gone for

:23:37. > :23:45.a big physical side England? Yes, but I think they are all natural

:23:46. > :23:52.food hollers. Many of the players are large and aggressive, but they

:23:53. > :23:57.can also play. The players in the tunnel, will this be a little bit if

:23:58. > :24:02.and for Fiji? It is a bigger crowd than they are used to. They have had

:24:03. > :24:07.the crowd on their side, particularly when the play that

:24:08. > :24:10.Rochdale? I do not think the crowd will faze them at all. Petero

:24:11. > :24:25.Civoniceva has been named the biggest stadiums in the world. --

:24:26. > :24:29.has been in the. I think that Fiji will be better trying to play than

:24:30. > :24:35.being physical all the time. It is about balance. If you go too far

:24:36. > :24:39.down the physicality route, or too far down the skilled route, that

:24:40. > :24:48.will be bad. It is about finding the balance. We will let you go to the

:24:49. > :24:51.commentary box. What are your final thoughts on the game? I think it

:24:52. > :24:57.will be a really entertaining game for all lot of years. I think we

:24:58. > :25:06.will be surprised by how much both teams play. I would like to see

:25:07. > :25:10.England concentrate for longer. The dropping concentration was there

:25:11. > :25:14.against Australia and Ireland. Every team has a dropping concentration,

:25:15. > :25:21.but I would like to see England concentrate for longer. They need to

:25:22. > :25:27.do that for 80 minutes? Yes, I think Steve McNamara's message today will

:25:28. > :25:31.be for an 80 minute performance. Against Ireland, their concentration

:25:32. > :25:36.wondered in the second half. They will be looking to be ruthless today

:25:37. > :25:52.against this Fijian team. Now we are going to have the anthems.

:25:53. > :26:37.# Blessing grant, oh God of nations, on the isles of Fiji.

:26:38. > :26:40.# As we stand united under noble banner blue.

:26:41. > :26:42.# And we honour and defend the cause of freedom ever.

:26:43. > :26:57.# Onward march together. # God bless Fiji.

:26:58. > :27:00.# For Fiji, ever Fiji, let our voices ring with pride.

:27:01. > :27:11.# For Fiji, ever Fiji, her name hail far and wide.

:27:12. > :27:19.# A land of freedom, hope and glory, to endure what ever befall.

:27:20. > :27:48.# May God bless Fiji. # Forever more! APPLAUSE.

:27:49. > :27:54.# God save our gracious Queen. # Live long our noble Queen.

:27:55. > :28:01.# God save the Queen! # Send her victorious.

:28:02. > :28:27.# Happy and glorious. # Long to reign over us.

:28:28. > :28:33.# God save the Queen. An incredible atmosphere. There will now be

:28:34. > :28:46.one-minute's silence to remember Steve Prescott and for remembrance

:28:47. > :28:52.weekend. It is with deep sadness that we learned of the death of four

:28:53. > :28:58.former Hull FC player this morning. Steve Prescott. Everybody involved

:28:59. > :29:03.with the game of rugby league will be saddened by the loss of this

:29:04. > :29:09.truly inspirational man. Throughout his long illness, Steve was always

:29:10. > :29:12.dignified, noble and brave, not least during his fantastic charity

:29:13. > :29:18.work for the Steve Prescott foundation. Please stand for one

:29:19. > :29:43.minute's silence so we can show our respect for Steve Prescott.

:29:44. > :30:46.Emotional scenes as a spontaneous applause broke out. Moving times. An

:30:47. > :30:54.emotional time here at KC Stadium. A full house. We have seen spectacular

:30:55. > :30:59.hackers throughout this tournament but the Fijians don't have one. They

:31:00. > :31:06.have a huddle. Then they sing a hymn. I hope they get the

:31:07. > :31:09.Annunciation right. -- pronunciation. And that means, Lord,

:31:10. > :31:58.this is my prayer. Another wonderful moment in this

:31:59. > :32:03.Rugby World Cup. Time for the final group match of the 23rd team Rugby

:32:04. > :32:21.League World Cup for England. It is sure to be physical!

:32:22. > :32:30.-- 2013. Here it is, England against Fiji. Your commentary team is Ryan

:32:31. > :32:43.Noble and Dave Woods. There was a desperately sad news but

:32:44. > :32:47.I am sure that the England players will draw on the inspiration of

:32:48. > :32:52.Steve Prescott. England have Sam Burgess back from suspension and

:32:53. > :33:01.gets to go in front. Tom Briscoe on the wing. And Rob Burrow has the

:33:02. > :33:10.potential to excite all of us off the bench. Fiji, siblings. Ashton

:33:11. > :33:17.Sims, Korbin Sims, Tariq Sims. Kevin Naiqama and Waisale Ligani Naiqama.

:33:18. > :33:22.And Daryl Millard. No lack of understanding in that side today.

:33:23. > :33:26.There he is. The old man, Petero Civoniceva. , to the end of what has

:33:27. > :33:30.been a fantastic career. Representing his home nation. And

:33:31. > :33:35.Sam Burgess going up against him as well. Starting in the front row.

:33:36. > :33:40.That'll be a confrontation to look forward to. It is a full game to

:33:41. > :33:47.look forward to. Ben Cummings is the referee. The video referee is

:33:48. > :33:52.available, if necessary. What is not to love about this? It has been a

:33:53. > :33:58.lifetime of adventures and fabulous memories already. Only a fortnight

:33:59. > :34:01.but that has taken us to Cardiff and Wrexham and whole and all points in

:34:02. > :34:07.between. We have had some wonderful matches. Some wonderful tries. And

:34:08. > :34:09.this should be good fun as well. This will be great fun. Really

:34:10. > :34:21.looking forward to this. England have the first touch of the

:34:22. > :34:25.ball. Both sides should qualify for the quarterfinals but they will want

:34:26. > :34:33.to finish as the runners up in Group A to Australia and they have to win

:34:34. > :34:37.today. It will certainly be France or Samoa for one of these sides in

:34:38. > :34:45.those quarterfinals. Here comes James Graham. Just short of that

:34:46. > :34:55.halfway line. Kevin Sinfield dropping it off. Just inside that

:34:56. > :35:01.Fijian half. He puts that high, Kevin Sinfield. An early test for

:35:02. > :35:06.Kevin Naiqama. He was very fortunate. He had every intention,

:35:07. > :35:14.Kevin Naiqama, of catching that. That was a great kick from Kevin

:35:15. > :35:20.Sinfield. Rear platform set up for England. And a very good crowd, they

:35:21. > :35:34.have just gone quiet. Fiji driving it forward. Petero Civoniceva with

:35:35. > :35:37.early take. We do not mention Ben Westwood very much but he has been

:35:38. > :35:41.very impressive and he is a very physical presence and self. It is a

:35:42. > :35:49.very physical English pack, isn't it? With Sam Burgess back in it. And

:35:50. > :35:55.Sean O'Loughlin, both featuring in the same pack for the first time.

:35:56. > :36:05.Sam Tomkins. He will test this the GM line. -- Fijian line. So, England

:36:06. > :36:17.down the right-hand side with Watkins. Sinfield, Westwood.

:36:18. > :36:27.Galloping forward. Michael McIllorum also brings a lot to the steam. --

:36:28. > :36:38.this team. He is a very smart player.

:36:39. > :36:51.Michael McIllorum, skipping back. More positive this time and he

:36:52. > :37:22.catches that well. That was a fair curry on the second plane.

:37:23. > :37:37.Fiji behind the 40 metre mark. Sam Tomkins running this back. England

:37:38. > :37:45.looking to set themselves up. Interesting see what reaction Tom

:37:46. > :37:48.Briscoe gets. England have the early advantage, they are making more

:37:49. > :37:53.metres and they are kicking more than Fiji. If they keep this up, it

:37:54. > :37:59.is only a matter of time before they get that scoring break. Sinfield

:38:00. > :38:06.moving into that side. Brett Ferres down that left channel. 30 metres to

:38:07. > :38:16.cover. They still had a couple of tackles in the bag. Rangi Chase, he

:38:17. > :38:22.has dealt with that. He was put under pressure with that pass. Rangi

:38:23. > :38:36.Chase was rushed previously do that as well. There was an execution if

:38:37. > :38:41.you are not. -- execution issue. Sean O'Loughlin cannot quite gather

:38:42. > :38:47.that in from Rangi Chase. 4.5 minutes played. They have both a

:38:48. > :38:51.meeting by Australia. But then they both registered wins against

:38:52. > :38:58.Ireland. And they are looking for a mood lifter ahead of those

:38:59. > :39:08.quarterfinals today. Burgess getting stuck in. Referee says play again.

:39:09. > :39:11.Fiji looking to build. From very much deep inside their own half.

:39:12. > :39:16.England have beaten them, they have played them over the years and have

:39:17. > :39:18.eaten them easily. I remember that memorable game in Central Park back

:39:19. > :39:33.in 1985. England had an easy win at

:39:34. > :39:37.Headingley back in 2000. You would expect anything but that today.

:39:38. > :39:49.Ashton Sims. Ryan Miller, one of those many

:39:50. > :39:57.brothers on show today. And there was that clearance. Confidence

:39:58. > :40:07.booster early. Fiji acting like the fact that they won some foot prints.

:40:08. > :40:17.He handled that very well. It accurate, he has grown very well in

:40:18. > :40:21.this. That was great by Tomkins. England just short of that halfway

:40:22. > :40:32.line. Sean O'Loughlin goes galloping forward. Here comes Kevin Sinfield.

:40:33. > :40:42.The Fijian defence recovers well enough. Sam Tomkins with the kick.

:40:43. > :40:55.Maybe too far? And that was easy on that side. Exciting some Fijians in

:40:56. > :40:59.the crowd. On the 40 metre mark. It was not the greatest kick from Sam

:41:00. > :41:03.Tomkins. No pressure because the chasers could not quite get there.

:41:04. > :41:12.They will be looking to put that right. Taken in by 97 macro. And

:41:13. > :41:22.that cash forward by Petero Civoniceva. He is a lovely bloke.

:41:23. > :41:33.Kicking behind Ryan Hall. Keeping it in play. Sam Tomkins, open field in

:41:34. > :41:42.which to run. Those flying feet! And Briscoe put his foot down! Penalty,

:41:43. > :41:47.because that was high. It was. I thought Tom Briscoe had the legs.

:41:48. > :41:51.But the Fijians had numbers. But his footwork caused his arm to come up

:41:52. > :42:05.and that was a great pass from Tomkins. Get that in here! That was

:42:06. > :42:06.a fair tackle. He stopped and Jayson Bukuya did not. That was the

:42:07. > :42:30.problem. That has come free with the

:42:31. > :42:36.off-load. Here comes Sam Burgess. Taking it forward and giving England

:42:37. > :42:48.a real platform. Graham has got runners to his left. Leroy Cudjoe,

:42:49. > :42:54.with Tomkins behind. Michael McIllorum jumps up to that dummy

:42:55. > :43:02.half position. Kevin Sinfield, the ball back inside. Sean O'Loughlin.

:43:03. > :43:08.Michael McIllorum again. Still a couple of tackles left to go. And it

:43:09. > :43:15.is going to be Fiji with his ashen again. They are looking great in

:43:16. > :43:19.their approach. But they cannot quite execute that final play. They

:43:20. > :43:22.want to improve upon that and then they have the discipline issue.

:43:23. > :43:30.Holding down the player with the ball. That is a let off for the

:43:31. > :43:35.Fijians. This has been a promising start for England? Their approach

:43:36. > :43:40.work has been fantastic, needs a little bit of polish at the end of

:43:41. > :43:45.the set. They are not quite so accurate with that kick from Sam

:43:46. > :43:49.Tomkins. And we can see a couple of passes that they have pushed. But

:43:50. > :43:54.they do look to be playing, don't they? The Fijians had a chance to

:43:55. > :44:15.build from the back. 28 NACRO, pushing it forward. He is

:44:16. > :44:19.a grand old man of Rugby League. He will leave his boots in Bolton at

:44:20. > :44:24.the end of this. That is where his training camp is. He told his wife

:44:25. > :44:39.he will not be coming back to play rugby anywhere. Released the outside

:44:40. > :44:45.back. The best field position so far for the Fijians. The final tackle in

:44:46. > :44:53.this, of the boot. Tomkins has to claim that. The ball has gone

:44:54. > :45:03.forward. And that will be a handover. It was one of those big

:45:04. > :45:06.Sims brothers. That is a handover. Their best result from the end of

:45:07. > :45:11.set completion. Competition for the ball, creating confusion in the

:45:12. > :45:25.England team. Michael McIllorum, dummy half. Sean O'Loughlin with a

:45:26. > :45:31.solid drive forward. We have a ball lost. What will the referee gave?

:45:32. > :45:44.Having a word with the judge on the far side to make his decision. It'll

:45:45. > :45:50.be a penalty for England. We have just gone past the 11 minute mark.

:45:51. > :45:55.This is exactly where the G1 to be. They are stopping England from

:45:56. > :46:00.scoring. England are going to turn up the pressure. Artists eg can get

:46:01. > :46:15.to the 20 minute mark, perhaps England will start to feel the

:46:16. > :46:32.pressure. -- but if Fiji can get to the 20-minute mark.

:46:33. > :46:38.That was very nearly an interception opportunity. But it was just held on

:46:39. > :47:04.by Leroy Cudjoe. England's approach work is good.

:47:05. > :47:34.They are going to create space. England looked very solid

:47:35. > :47:56.defensively, but this is about concentration.

:47:57. > :48:04.The referee is happy with that tackle. Ryan Hall has come across to

:48:05. > :48:05.lend his considerable weight and expertise to the position that

:48:06. > :48:35.England find themselves in. Ashton Sims was looking for him. I

:48:36. > :48:50.do not know if they have had works. -- had words. That was into the

:48:51. > :49:00.hands of Kallum Watkins, who could not quite get clear. He could not

:49:01. > :49:07.quite get his hands free to release Tom Briscoe for the score. The

:49:08. > :49:43.Fijian defence is hanging on a little.

:49:44. > :49:52.Ashton Sims is claiming there was a penalty. Get up and play, says the

:49:53. > :49:59.referee. This will be an England kick. Ashton Sims is complaining

:50:00. > :50:14.bitterly that he has been dragged around. He probably has a point.

:50:15. > :50:21.Ashton Sims is a veteran of this Fiji team. He played in all four of

:50:22. > :50:31.their games back in 2008. They made the semifinals that year. My word,

:50:32. > :50:35.they make some ripples. They are looking to trouble England in this

:50:36. > :50:45.game. But so far, England are looking OK.

:50:46. > :51:20.This is Ryan Hall. Kevin Sinfield wants to get on with it.

:51:21. > :51:33.Korbin Sims has knocked it down. He has given England another six-year,

:51:34. > :51:43.because they get the scrum. -- another six. You are right, six more

:51:44. > :51:49.plays for England. What news from the touchline? I have Tom Burgess

:51:50. > :51:54.with me. What do you think of the start that England have made? I

:51:55. > :52:05.think the boys are doing a good job. We will just carry on with the game

:52:06. > :52:09.and see how we go. Fiji must be happy with the job they are doing in

:52:10. > :52:42.defence? Yes, they have started well, they are doing well. While

:52:43. > :52:53.played by Daryl Millard. -- well played. He has no other option but

:52:54. > :52:59.to bring the ball dead. The pressure might begin to tell. You would

:53:00. > :53:07.suspect. England need to take advantage. England just need to be

:53:08. > :53:16.patient. They have plenty in their locker. Michael McIllorum is pivotal

:53:17. > :53:21.to most of the opportunities they are creating. England have six more

:53:22. > :53:50.tackles. It is a penalty. James Graham, lifted into the air.

:53:51. > :53:53.He is not going to like that. I think there might be a response

:53:54. > :54:02.later in this game from James Graham. I think it was Korbin Sims

:54:03. > :54:13.are Tariq Sims. It is carbon. They know that is outlawed in the game.

:54:14. > :54:19.There is a big green grass on his head, the mark on his head. The good

:54:20. > :54:24.thing is that all the players recognised it was illegal. Carbon

:54:25. > :54:36.stood up himself straightaway and took the heat out of the situation.

:54:37. > :54:39.-- Korbin. I think the fans felt that he should have been spending

:54:40. > :54:44.some time on the sidelines with a red or yellow card. But he remains

:54:45. > :54:45.on the field and England get a penalty right in front of the

:54:46. > :55:13.sticks. Burgess. Did he get it down? I think

:55:14. > :55:17.he did. The referee is going to check with the video referee. Is

:55:18. > :55:28.this the opening try not for Sam Burgess? He has got the ball, he has

:55:29. > :55:36.lost the ball. He has lost the ball short of the line. Can you just play

:55:37. > :55:45.this on? We will see what happens after this. We have got a knock-on

:55:46. > :56:03.short of the line. He has just lost control of the ball. It is no try.

:56:04. > :56:08.We are going back to a try -- we are going back to a scrum for Fiji. The

:56:09. > :56:14.England supporters are disappointed. They know it is going to be denied.

:56:15. > :56:21.But what about the tackle from Ashton Sims to make sure that he did

:56:22. > :56:24.lose that ball? It was great. He has done the professional thing and gone

:56:25. > :56:40.back and disrupted the try scoring play. James Graham with a great

:56:41. > :56:49.boulder. Ashton Sims is having a big game. He is very much a presence in

:56:50. > :56:56.the Fijian pack. 20 minutes played, and it is still scoreless. England

:56:57. > :57:02.have had their opportunities. Leroy Cudjoe is offside. A penalty for

:57:03. > :57:20.Fiji will help them clear their lines.

:57:21. > :58:31.Kevin Naiqama is the player to take it out of play.

:58:32. > :58:43.That is a penalty for Fiji. Milan could have got his hands free again.

:58:44. > :58:50.He was in for another try scoring opportunity. -- Daryl Millard. Fiji

:58:51. > :59:33.fancy their chances. That was cutting effort by those 2/

:59:34. > :00:01.he is hard. I promise you, he is hard. -- by those two forwards. He

:00:02. > :00:06.is hurt. Daryl Millard has the try. He is going to the ferret back to

:00:07. > :00:22.the video referee. Have Fiji claimed the first scalp? Bullet from here.

:00:23. > :00:34.Can we get a close-up on that, please? -- rule it. The forward

:00:35. > :00:48.Chase is inside. Take that back and slow that down. There you go, that

:00:49. > :00:59.is good. That candle on the board. Beth Tweddle can go. -- that can go.

:01:00. > :01:08.How will this go down locally? They will have another look. Just go back

:01:09. > :01:17.a bit, please. Yes, he is playing the ball, there. He cannot do that.

:01:18. > :01:18.He cannot tackle without the ball. Another one, show me another angle,

:01:19. > :01:39.please. Yes, this will be no try. A penalty

:01:40. > :01:49.against Fiji for tackling Tomkins without the ball. What a let for

:01:50. > :01:55.England! That fumble by Tomkins but the tackle of the ball and that has

:01:56. > :02:02.saved the scalps. They get away with a penalty. The video referee have

:02:03. > :02:10.the right decision in the end. Daryl Millard got the ball down OK. Tariq

:02:11. > :02:13.Sims tackling Sam Tomkins and he does not given any opportunity to

:02:14. > :02:23.make any defensive play. He fumbled that between his legs. The

:02:24. > :02:30.explanation provided by the referee to Petero Civoniceva. Ended with a

:02:31. > :02:39.penalty. My word, that would have been a sucker punch! All England for

:02:40. > :02:46.90 minutes and this last few minutes, all Fiji at this end of the

:02:47. > :02:56.field. Very physical game. No score. 23.5 minutes played. Slamming it

:02:57. > :03:06.forward again. Michael McIllorum. Sean O'Loughlin, running hard. He

:03:07. > :03:19.has gone right. Michael McIllorum, to Sinfield, inside the 40. The

:03:20. > :03:26.full-back fumbling today. That was a good exit strategy for England after

:03:27. > :03:29.that pressure period. That has been swinging the Menton back to England.

:03:30. > :03:35.But Fiji are back in the game, aren't they? They have got a sense

:03:36. > :03:48.that they are very much in this contest. James Storer. The English

:03:49. > :03:55.defensive line looking to work hard. This will even things up just a

:03:56. > :04:01.little. Inside the England have. Ryan Hall. And it looked as though

:04:02. > :04:05.they were free and running of the referee has decided there was a

:04:06. > :04:10.steal in there. Korbin Sims, trying to off-load and England retrieve

:04:11. > :04:19.that and we think that Ryan Hall is away. This is the off-load from

:04:20. > :04:23.Korbin Sims. Off on his travels. There were two of them in that

:04:24. > :04:33.tackle, quite clearly. So, a penalty for England. Deep inside Fijian

:04:34. > :04:38.territory. Sam Burgess with the additional drive and a very good

:04:39. > :04:46.curry. Just pushed back one yard. Ashton Sims, again, involved.

:04:47. > :04:54.Michael McIllorum, nowhere to go. Options restricted. This is Sean

:04:55. > :05:04.O'Loughlin. Kevin Sinfield. They like that ball. Michael McIllorum

:05:05. > :05:13.again. Rangi Chase, spinning left. Ryan Hall, back. This is Kevin

:05:14. > :05:21.Sinfield. Defenders playing at him! Rangi Chase with that dummy. Trying

:05:22. > :05:27.to spin off the defender. Kallum Watkins with a wonderful cake. That

:05:28. > :05:31.was great defence from Fiji. They were throwing the ball everywhere

:05:32. > :05:36.looking to create an opportunity and those blue jumpers have come from

:05:37. > :05:40.nowhere and closed that down. That is great scrambled defence. Watch

:05:41. > :05:48.this off-load. Here we go, Rangi Chase! Out the back door. Kallum

:05:49. > :05:57.Watkins. That is a lot to do for Tom Briscoe. He cannot find any space.

:05:58. > :06:10.Seven off-load! All in that little player! If I have one concern for

:06:11. > :06:16.Fiji, it is who they can bring off the bench to replace Ashton Sims and

:06:17. > :06:27.Korbin Sims. They will lose something. Stay patient, England.

:06:28. > :06:36.Fiji looking to bludgeon their way out of this end of the field. Sisa

:06:37. > :06:41.Waga is with Damian Johnson. You feel strongly that that effort

:06:42. > :06:52.should have stood? I thought it was a try. I thought he was tackled

:06:53. > :06:59.before. Great start? It has been. We have been talking about this game

:07:00. > :07:07.and to make sure we get there. Thank you. This is what we expected it to

:07:08. > :07:13.be. This is a real battle. BG are not easy. This is a team full of

:07:14. > :07:24.pedigree and quality. Great footwork from Tom Briscoe. Kevin Sinfield.

:07:25. > :07:36.Ryan Hall. Can they go forward? Chase. Brett Ferres. Some

:07:37. > :07:43.interchanges. George Burgess has come on. That gives England

:07:44. > :07:57.something different. Watch out, Fiji! Rob Burrow stands at the dummy

:07:58. > :08:07.half. Half an opportunity. He has had several others. Present to the

:08:08. > :08:21.ground. The Fijian defence is like a clamp. Kevin Sinfield. Ryan Hall,

:08:22. > :08:32.does not quite reach. Great catch. Fiji have to do some defence! Fiji

:08:33. > :08:40.looking to wind it up again here. It is a really tough contest we are

:08:41. > :08:46.watching. Half an hour. They both know they are going to the

:08:47. > :08:54.quarterfinals. Barring a miracle. But they are both desperate to go

:08:55. > :09:04.there with a win. Number 15, of the bench. That was awkward. Picked up

:09:05. > :09:14.by Kevin Sinfield. Here comes Sam Tomkins. England looking to take

:09:15. > :09:18.advantage. Sam Tomkins! And the defensive response from Fiji was

:09:19. > :09:27.again impressive. That was a great offensive kick from the Fijians.

:09:28. > :09:34.Rangi Chase. Kevin Sinfield. Kallum Watkins but there is nobody there.

:09:35. > :09:40.He has given it away! It is a turn of England to respond. They have

:09:41. > :09:45.known it. Just impatience. But you can see the opportunities. Rangi

:09:46. > :09:55.Chase -- Kallum Watkins could not quite catch that pass. Welcome to

:09:56. > :10:13.England! Eloni Vunakece knows he is in this game! Tariq Sims. Fiji have

:10:14. > :10:17.lost the ball. And cleanly. The referee decides that Tariq Sims was

:10:18. > :10:28.responsible for his own misdemeanour. No, he dropped it. The

:10:29. > :10:40.referee said, I told you before, get up and play. Robbie? It is a crucial

:10:41. > :10:46.final ten minutes for Fiji. If they want to keep England scorers. Petero

:10:47. > :10:51.Civoniceva is on the sidelines as well as Ashton Sims. They have been

:10:52. > :10:55.absorbing a lot of what England has been throwing at them. But with

:10:56. > :11:03.George Burgess, you can expect England to step up their tempo. And

:11:04. > :11:06.Jamie Peacock is in the studio. I think England have been very

:11:07. > :11:11.physical and have dominated field position but when they get to the

:11:12. > :11:14.other end of the field, they are not executing quite as well as they

:11:15. > :11:21.would like. That means they cannot squarely tries. But this is a very

:11:22. > :11:30.good opening start from England. The referee is stopping the clock coming

:11:31. > :11:41.here. That is a forward pass? Knock on? It might even have been the

:11:42. > :11:51.touch judge on this nearside? Is he the near one? The referee was very

:11:52. > :12:00.close and the touch judge was even closer. But it was a touch judge on

:12:01. > :12:13.the side that has decided. Full marks! He did well. The officials

:12:14. > :12:19.are doing a great job. To see that. Fiji, eight minutes until half-time

:12:20. > :12:27.and this is the lowest scoring game in this World Cup. I cannot think of

:12:28. > :12:44.any other games that have been as low scoring in this tournament. This

:12:45. > :13:02.is Daryl Millard. The full-back is in there, too. Sam Burgess lining

:13:03. > :13:19.him up! They have to go back because referee shuddered. -- shuddered.

:13:20. > :13:34.Inside! And a try! That is how you execute! That is how you play in

:13:35. > :13:46.your opponents 20. Eloni Vunakece and Fiji! England were ripped wide

:13:47. > :13:53.open. This game has got a lot tougher for England. Eloni Vunakece

:13:54. > :14:02.on the inside to support. But is it so her ball from Daryl Millard.

:14:03. > :14:09.Boom! Tariq Sims headset. You are quite right, that is how you must

:14:10. > :14:14.execute play. People moving and one defender. Difficult decisions for

:14:15. > :14:25.England. This game has just got a lot harder for England. He has a

:14:26. > :14:30.blonde Afro. That is a result of the debt -- bet four years ago that he

:14:31. > :14:36.is still waiting for the winnings for. But he liked it so much, he

:14:37. > :14:45.kept the her style. The opening try per Fiji, with 33 minutes played.

:14:46. > :14:51.That is a wake-up call for England, here. Fiji have been here twice and

:14:52. > :15:01.scored once. That'll be concerning for England.

:15:02. > :15:13.That is sweet enough. And Fiji have the lead. 6-0. And with half-time

:15:14. > :15:26.in. England need to steady the ship quickly. Take a Bowe, Daryl Millard.

:15:27. > :15:33.Great play on the inside. From Eloni Vunakece. England restart. England

:15:34. > :15:39.will get the ball, here. Five minutes remaining. England need a

:15:40. > :15:44.response. As Vitale Junior Roqica brings forward. They are queueing up

:15:45. > :16:22.to have a go at this English defensive line. Tariq Sims is high

:16:23. > :16:32.quality. He has broken his leg twice in the last few years. He has had

:16:33. > :16:38.some injury problems. Four minutes to go before the break. England are

:16:39. > :16:39.looking to get themselves on the scoreboard and try to lift their

:16:40. > :17:09.spirits. Kevin Sinfield. Chris Hill. That is

:17:10. > :17:22.a strong carry. That was tackle five. Tom Briscoe has got there. It

:17:23. > :17:32.is a penalty. They are saying that the tackle came in the air. That is

:17:33. > :17:54.the rule. His understanding is spot on.

:17:55. > :18:07.Kevin Sinfield. Wonderful by Kevin Sinfield. England respond. Westwood

:18:08. > :18:22.plunging in. Kevin Sinfield was the architect. England could be level

:18:23. > :18:27.soon. Well done, Kevin Sinfield. This is the reason why they are

:18:28. > :18:33.there. They are saying that Kevin Sinfield has been tackled. There is

:18:34. > :18:39.the reason for the penalty. He releases Kevin Sinfield. Westwood

:18:40. > :18:49.follows through on the inside. Anything you can do, we can do. Well

:18:50. > :18:59.done, Chase. Ben Westwood releases himself, it is a great score. And

:19:00. > :19:06.they needed it. That quick response has helped them out. The longer they

:19:07. > :19:14.left it, the more energy that Fiji we get. Kevin Sinfield with a chance

:19:15. > :19:20.to bring England level. He is not going to miss it. Having set up the

:19:21. > :19:36.try, he adds the finishing touches well. It is 7-7. Kevin Sinfield

:19:37. > :19:37.straightening up his run is the key. He is taking his player on

:19:38. > :20:30.one-on-one. Penalty? Penalty? It is much too far

:20:31. > :20:39.to think about kicking for goal. 62 yards. They will be looking to find

:20:40. > :20:44.touch as quickly as they can. Kevin Sinfield, terrific. Can they play

:20:45. > :21:07.this before the hooter sounds? HOOTER. That is the end of the half.

:21:08. > :21:13.It was a slow burner, but it was explosive in the last five minutes.

:21:14. > :21:17.England were on top for 35 merits of that path. But with the threat that

:21:18. > :21:24.Fiji possess, you cannot take your eye off the ball. Robbie Hunter-Paul

:21:25. > :21:30.is on the touchline. I have got Ashton Sims with me.

:21:31. > :21:35.30 minutes in the first half, what is it like in the middle of the

:21:36. > :21:42.park? England are tough. They have a really good forward pack. Going in

:21:43. > :21:48.the level at half time. You must be happy with the performance? , but we

:21:49. > :21:53.want another good 40 minutes. How are you feeling at the moment? Is it

:21:54. > :21:59.going to plan? It is a physical game. We have probably not completed

:22:00. > :22:04.at the level that we want, but we will fix that in the second half.

:22:05. > :22:07.You have had most of the possession and field possession but not been

:22:08. > :22:14.able to put the ball over the try-line. Yes. We will play simple

:22:15. > :22:19.football and stick to that. Hopefully we will do better in the

:22:20. > :22:25.second half. Let's look at the statistics. England are on top, but

:22:26. > :22:31.you said it during the commentary, they are not executing. England are

:22:32. > :22:39.dominating the territory with their physicality. But in the opponents'

:22:40. > :22:45.half, they are not finishing. You need that at this level. Is it

:22:46. > :22:52.decision-making, fluency? It is a bit of both. Perhaps the passing has

:22:53. > :22:57.not been crisp. The timing has not been there, but the promising thing

:22:58. > :23:03.is that England are here to compete. They are dominating field

:23:04. > :23:11.possession. They just need to finish more positively. They need to get

:23:12. > :23:17.repeat sets. What is lacking is a composed end to the sets of six.

:23:18. > :23:22.Defensively, England have generally looked solid, apart from the try?

:23:23. > :23:29.Yes, they have looked good in the physical encounters. When they have

:23:30. > :23:39.got down to the Fijian end of the pitch, they have created scoring

:23:40. > :23:45.chances. Look at this. This is fantastic setup play from Fiji. They

:23:46. > :23:50.are highlighting the power of pitting to make athletic runners on

:23:51. > :24:03.one defender. It leaves Kallum Watkins with a tough decision to

:24:04. > :24:14.make. -- of putting two athletic runners. This shows what Fiji can do

:24:15. > :24:22.with limited opportunities. England have not created the chances and

:24:23. > :24:32.converted them into points. Look at this. Kevin Sinfield goes direct. He

:24:33. > :24:42.heads towards their try-line. Ben Westwood deserve this. He has been

:24:43. > :24:46.outstanding in the first half. Ben Westwood creates the try by being

:24:47. > :24:55.such a threat. It is the line that he runs. Kevin shows him the ball.

:24:56. > :25:07.Kevin is one of the top of loaders in rugby league. -- offloaders. I

:25:08. > :25:13.think that England have done well. We are now taking. We knew it was

:25:14. > :25:19.going to be a tough game. They just need to tweak things a little bit.

:25:20. > :25:24.The passing, the execution. I think they will come away with the victory

:25:25. > :25:28.in the second half. We said beforehand it was going to be

:25:29. > :25:34.physical. Sam Burgess has been a real powerhouse? Yes, what you get

:25:35. > :25:38.with him is pretty much everything you would want in a rugby league

:25:39. > :25:48.player. He is big, strong, physical, aggressive. He is aggressive and

:25:49. > :25:52.that aggression has seen him get into trouble couple of times this

:25:53. > :25:57.year, but that is his nature and it is what makes him such a great

:25:58. > :26:03.player. He put himself in positions to get involved all of the time.

:26:04. > :26:19.That is really encouraging. He has had certainly -- he certainly has

:26:20. > :26:24.had a good running battle with Sims. This is a fantastic piece of play.

:26:25. > :26:31.When you play alongside people, that is who you want to play with, those

:26:32. > :26:35.guys that put in the extra effort. You would rather be set up here than

:26:36. > :26:40.facing all three Sims brothers. They have put themselves about? Yes, they

:26:41. > :26:45.have been at the heart of everything that please two have done. But they

:26:46. > :26:57.are teetering on that line between too much. They have been integral to

:26:58. > :27:01.what Fiji are doing. There have been some big impacts in this game. It

:27:02. > :27:08.has been a great game of rugby. Should this have been a

:27:09. > :27:11.sending-off? It looks bad, but I think that when you are picked up,

:27:12. > :27:17.your natural instinct is to find your way to the floor. I know James

:27:18. > :27:26.Graham well, and he has quite a big head! That is the problem, he is

:27:27. > :27:29.top-heavy. The number of times we have mentioned physicality in the

:27:30. > :27:36.build-up to this game, and it has not disappointed. What do you make

:27:37. > :27:41.of this head-to-head between Sam Burgess and Ashton Sims? I think

:27:42. > :27:47.they represent what is good about both teams. 19 tackles for Burgess,

:27:48. > :27:55.that is a lot of work for a front row to have done in one half. Ashton

:27:56. > :28:01.Sims has played fewer minutes, but he has 20 tackles. That is a lot. I

:28:02. > :28:04.think that England are the fitter team and I think that they will

:28:05. > :28:09.finish stronger. The question is whether Fiji can maintain this level

:28:10. > :28:20.of performance for the next 40 minutes? This is the disallowed Fiji

:28:21. > :28:34.try. I think he could have pulled out of that. I think it is the right

:28:35. > :28:45.decision, looking back at it. Do you agree? I am not sure. For me, that

:28:46. > :28:51.is a real 50-50 call. I am not sure that Sam has made the error. If he

:28:52. > :28:57.has hit him without the ball, it should be a penalty. It just shows

:28:58. > :29:01.how dangerous this Fijian side are. They have had one disallowed try and

:29:02. > :29:08.they have scored a great try through some really good structure. That is

:29:09. > :29:13.the worrying thing for England. Fiji could be dangerous. If this

:29:14. > :29:17.competition has inspired you to get involved with rugby league, Gabby

:29:18. > :29:23.Logan has been finding out just how easy it is. This is what it is all

:29:24. > :29:29.about, getting out on the field and giving it a go. I am at Headingley,

:29:30. > :29:34.at the home of the Leeds Rhinos, for the National disability rugby

:29:35. > :29:39.festival. Over 100 people here today, all kinds of ages and

:29:40. > :29:43.abilities. They are all tried to -- they are all trying to be crowned

:29:44. > :29:52.champions, but it is about more than that. We work as a team. We work as

:29:53. > :30:01.a team, and we work as best mates. I play rugby because I like it. It

:30:02. > :30:06.keeps you fit. Keith has been involved all day. You have been

:30:07. > :30:14.helping to referee. While events like this important? It is great. We

:30:15. > :30:20.do it for the community. The councillor involved as well. It is

:30:21. > :30:28.about having a good time. It is brilliant. I was the best woman in

:30:29. > :30:41.the match. My average, I scored five tries. How did you get involved? My

:30:42. > :30:45.brother played a very long time ago in Huddersfield when it was Wigan

:30:46. > :30:50.against Hull and that inspired me. And I just started from there. Nine

:30:51. > :30:55.years old. And progressed into a career I have really enjoyed.

:30:56. > :31:01.Basically, I was a contract signing. I was not there rest of kids as a

:31:02. > :31:05.child and I needed some release and rugby was a great way for me to do

:31:06. > :31:10.that. Without sport, my life would have gone any completely different

:31:11. > :31:18.direction. It gave me all the qualities I need. And I work for the

:31:19. > :31:23.foundation because the model is changing lives through sport. Around

:31:24. > :31:26.the country, thousands of people are playing in tournament 's just like

:31:27. > :31:29.this. You don't have to be the next Kevin Sinfield, just get out there

:31:30. > :31:43.and enjoy yourself and get active. We will have the highlights of Italy

:31:44. > :31:49.and Tonga, that crunch game and Scottish fans will be watching

:31:50. > :31:57.keenly. That is tonight -- tomorrow night at 11:45pm. And on Monday

:31:58. > :32:03.night, back with another highlights programme. France and Samoa. That

:32:04. > :32:07.will decide who England faces in the quarterfinals. Before that, there is

:32:08. > :32:17.the conclusion of the world tour finals for the tennis. Live on BBC

:32:18. > :32:24.Two tomorrow. Neck and neck. Who will win this? I think if they can

:32:25. > :32:29.finish their sets well and with composure and get down to the Fijian

:32:30. > :32:35.end and have some time focused on that line, I think England are too

:32:36. > :32:42.strong for this team. Do you agree? Yes, I am with England. Just a

:32:43. > :32:47.little bit of execution and skill. Get that right and they will win.

:32:48. > :32:52.Will decision-making be the key? I think so and I am also looking

:32:53. > :33:00.forward to the other game between Sam and Ashton! Let's go back to the

:33:01. > :33:05.commentary team. Brian Noble and Dave Woods.

:33:06. > :33:12.The group stages coming to an end on Monday and in the first two weeks,

:33:13. > :33:16.it has been breathtaking with all of those venues. And the matches we

:33:17. > :33:22.have seen. Tonga against Italy tomorrow. Who would have thought

:33:23. > :33:28.that that was going to be such a mouthwatering prospect? At Halifax,

:33:29. > :33:32.we have seen the USA against Scotland. That was another

:33:33. > :33:44.magnificent game and Scotland or unbeaten so far. A lot of surprise

:33:45. > :33:52.packages and some different names. Wiggles, even they got involved! Are

:33:53. > :33:56.England going to make sure that Fiji do not shock the world in the second

:33:57. > :34:03.half by grabbing a hold of this match? What a start! That kick-off

:34:04. > :34:16.has biased kindly and straightaway, England are up and running. They are

:34:17. > :34:24.only ten metres away. Burgess again! Sam Burgess! Unstoppable! And the

:34:25. > :34:29.Fijian 's, forum then, kind them, could not keep him out! And England

:34:30. > :34:39.have the perfect start to this second half. That is answer. He just

:34:40. > :34:43.took a big leap, for the high bar, and he dragged for people over the

:34:44. > :34:48.line. Watch this. The kick-off was first and foremost. Somebody has to

:34:49. > :34:56.clean that up. Instant field position. Just what the doctor

:34:57. > :35:05.ordered. He appears. The top right of your screen. Then he gets the

:35:06. > :35:11.ball. Left foot, right foot. He has gone through six defenders, there.

:35:12. > :35:18.Scattered. This was a terrific effort. Absolutely terrific. To keep

:35:19. > :35:24.forcing his way over. And that is the perfect left for England. In the

:35:25. > :35:33.early stages, as Kevin Sinfield looks to add... 6-point lead. The

:35:34. > :35:37.words of Stephen McNamara still ringing in their ears and I am sure

:35:38. > :35:47.they will have delivered on that suggestion, score early. They just

:35:48. > :35:58.needed to bend their backs. Plenty of muscle. But they need more diesel

:35:59. > :36:04.in the tag. 12-6. England lead. It took a long time to get our first

:36:05. > :36:12.points on the board in this game. The Fijian 's gave us those first

:36:13. > :36:19.points. With Eloni Vunakece. But the big boys have got England back on

:36:20. > :36:26.track, here. Westwood. He was looking to off-load. What is the

:36:27. > :36:31.word from both sheds at half-time? England, the message from Steve was

:36:32. > :36:37.play the game at our pace at not there is and be more direct and Sam

:36:38. > :36:43.Burgess took that to heart. Fiji, continue to play hard. Except the

:36:44. > :36:51.game plan of England and keep things simple. See who has got the best

:36:52. > :36:59.game plan in the second half. Kevin Sinfield taking it out of play to

:37:00. > :37:12.start again. Fiji have not had any ball, yet. And that is key for

:37:13. > :37:17.England. I think they are creaking. England are making terrific inroads.

:37:18. > :37:24.What can Burgess to? Another big effort. Sam Burgess. Rob Burrow. To

:37:25. > :37:32.his left. He has got Chris Hill. Rangi Chase! Lovely from Rangi

:37:33. > :37:36.Chase. And England are finding their form and finding their touch. Fiji

:37:37. > :37:44.are looking at each other and asking the questions. England are providing

:37:45. > :37:50.the right answers. That is a great score from England. We put this down

:37:51. > :37:54.to Rangi Chase and better execution. The boys in the studio were asking

:37:55. > :38:01.for that. Here is the penalty. Offside. That gives England that

:38:02. > :38:08.free field position. And that off-load from Chris Hill. Great pass

:38:09. > :38:23.from Rangi Chase. He just has to run. That double pump play. It is

:38:24. > :38:28.like a switch has been thrown at half-time. Show them what you do!

:38:29. > :38:35.And England are saying, this is what we do. And as Brian Noble said,

:38:36. > :38:40.still Fiji have to put their hands on the ball in the second half. That

:38:41. > :38:52.is a nightmare start, literally, for Fiji. That great kick, have

:38:53. > :38:57.warehouse. And the execution of England has picked up immensely,

:38:58. > :39:01.hasn't it? They are stabbing the three lions across this match. What

:39:02. > :39:11.kind of response will be see from Fiji? Eight being -6. The English

:39:12. > :39:18.side lead. -- 18-6. It has been brilliant for England. Passing has

:39:19. > :39:24.been more crisp, on the money. And they have come away with two tries.

:39:25. > :39:31.What a start to what was it tight game. Two tries in five minutes is

:39:32. > :39:35.brilliant for England. Three defenders occupying his thoughts

:39:36. > :39:43.immediately. Rob Burrow, looking around. Here is George Burgess.

:39:44. > :39:50.Train to get his arm free. England running forward, now. Rob Burrow.

:39:51. > :40:01.That was a little high. Kevin Sinfield. Sam Tomkins. England

:40:02. > :40:05.looking for a good finish. Kevin Sinfield putting it high. I think

:40:06. > :40:15.that was offside? He has to hand act. Great catch. Fiji get their

:40:16. > :40:22.hands on the ball for the first time. Sinfield is not looking too

:40:23. > :40:34.healthy? That will be worrying for the England team.

:40:35. > :40:47.Daryl Millard. Aaron Groom. His legs did not quite go through the

:40:48. > :41:04.perpendicular. Fiji reached the end of their set. With a kick from Aaron

:41:05. > :41:18.Groom. Absolutely confident. Well, here's stopping this. Kevin Sinfield

:41:19. > :41:27.remains hurt. -- he is stopping this. It was his elbow. Good night.

:41:28. > :41:32.We sell Kevin Sinfield picking himself up after a head injury a

:41:33. > :41:36.couple of years ago and he went on to win Man of the Match. But there

:41:37. > :41:40.is concern at across the whole of support about head injuries, isn't

:41:41. > :41:54.there? Lots of concern and rightly so. Having a word in his ear. Seeing

:41:55. > :41:59.what response he gets. He is a familiar figure around the game.

:42:00. > :42:08.Doctor Chris. He is satisfied that he will be OK. They will keep an eye

:42:09. > :42:16.on him. Just to make sure that everything is as it should be. And

:42:17. > :42:21.we can go back to that good catch by Ryan Hall. That has given England

:42:22. > :42:29.possession. They are looking to make the best of what they have got. Good

:42:30. > :42:42.play a game from George Burgess. Chris Hill wrestling. Rob Burrow.

:42:43. > :42:47.Brett Ferres. He has run that corridor for Huddersfield all year.

:42:48. > :42:53.Rangi Chase. England beginning to find some confidence. Tomkins. It

:42:54. > :43:01.did not quite bounce as well as he would have liked it too. He took a

:43:02. > :43:09.chance waiting that long! He waited patiently, Marika Koroibete. He was

:43:10. > :43:19.prodding like a panther. You have to say, he has done really well.

:43:20. > :43:24.Penalty for Watkins. What news of Kevin Sinfield? He had that head

:43:25. > :43:32.injury a short time ago. Damian Johnson? I had a quick word with the

:43:33. > :43:35.England team Doctor and he says he was slightly dazed by the impact on

:43:36. > :43:41.that tackle and he asked them questions to see if he was fit to

:43:42. > :43:47.continue. That is a big issue, head injuries in other sports. He was

:43:48. > :43:51.told he was fit to play. Fiji not finding touch without penalty.

:43:52. > :44:01.Giving England a really good chance to attack again. Rangi Chase! Takes

:44:02. > :44:10.it on the outside! Just a foot in touch. That was very nearly as good

:44:11. > :44:15.a winger's try as you will ever see. The cameras will not lie. I think

:44:16. > :44:30.that was a great all. Chase without reply. Let's have a look. Keep

:44:31. > :44:35.going! He certainly did. Well, the referee, as it can do, might be

:44:36. > :44:46.offering this to the video referee. He is. He has said, have a look at

:44:47. > :44:58.this. This might still be a very special try. Thank you.

:44:59. > :45:12.Nice son so, here. OK, keep going. Slow things down. That one. I still

:45:13. > :45:19.have got green between white. Can they get one from behind? This one

:45:20. > :45:41.here? The last shot, green between white. Slow it down. Keep going.

:45:42. > :45:50.White and green. Can you go back? OK, now down again. Hold it there.

:45:51. > :45:57.Just roll it a bit more. Forward, white and green, white and green,

:45:58. > :46:11.keep going. Can we go to the front, please? Slowly, this is a good one.

:46:12. > :46:34.That is in, that is still in. Go back. Just drop that forward,

:46:35. > :46:51.please. -- just bring that forward. Freeze it there. That is in. That

:46:52. > :46:58.will do. I am happy. That is a try. Ryan Hall with a very, very special

:46:59. > :47:07.try. And England are really delivering in the second half,

:47:08. > :47:14.leading by 22-6. That was a great try by Ryan Hall. Everyone is glad

:47:15. > :47:30.that we went to the screen apart from Fiji. He was one-on-one with

:47:31. > :47:36.Waisale Ligani Naiqama. He gets the ball down. It is a good job that we

:47:37. > :47:43.have these great pictures. There is another man who has scored lots of

:47:44. > :47:47.great tries, Jason Robinson. As a winger, Ryan Hall has got

:47:48. > :47:57.everything. He has the balance, the poise, the athleticism. He is almost

:47:58. > :48:07.unstoppable. Kevin Sinfield is looking to add the two. He has

:48:08. > :48:21.kicked that horrifically well. -- really well. Four out of four for

:48:22. > :48:31.Sinfield. England are underway. Chase gets around three Fijian

:48:32. > :48:37.defenders. He releases Ryan Hall. Fiji, what response have they got?

:48:38. > :48:40.Ten minutes of the second half played, and a match that they were

:48:41. > :49:37.very much in there now drifting away from them.

:49:38. > :49:47.What a wonderful England try. England ripped them to shreds down

:49:48. > :49:51.the middle. Fabulous. Fabulous play. They are running away with the game,

:49:52. > :50:10.and it looked to have been causing them problems. It is the inside ball

:50:11. > :50:17.from Kevin Sinfield again, this time to Chris Hill. Rob Burrow is not

:50:18. > :50:36.going to miss from here. How many times have we seen him do that in

:50:37. > :50:41.the Leeds. -- in the league. Fiji are not defending as well in this

:50:42. > :50:47.half. But that is a super score for Rob Burrow. Kevin Sinfield, and

:50:48. > :51:02.impeccable kicking performance so far. He sends it over for a fifth

:51:03. > :51:27.time. England 30, Fiji six. Who saw that coming?

:51:28. > :51:44.Fiji have only had the ball for four plays in this half. I think we can

:51:45. > :51:47.hear from Jon Wilkin. I have really noticed the difference in the

:51:48. > :51:55.England team. They are varying the game well. They are taking advantage

:51:56. > :51:59.of all the options they have got around them. It has been a really

:52:00. > :52:19.well constructive half of rugby from England.

:52:20. > :52:28.Pushing and shoving, unnecessarily so. The referee gives a penalty, and

:52:29. > :52:42.I think that is a little harsh on Fiji. I think it is. The captain.

:52:43. > :52:49.You need to control it. Let me finish. That was a blatant push. I

:52:50. > :53:05.need you to cut it out, especially the number 13. Clean up your act.

:53:06. > :53:08.Clean up your act. I still think that was harsh on Fiji, that

:53:09. > :53:25.penalty, but England are not going to complain.

:53:26. > :53:33.Here he is again, Rob Burrow, dragged over the line by the

:53:34. > :53:41.defender. The question is, has he put it down? Not quite. They will go

:53:42. > :54:00.back ten metres. It is the execution again. That is a great line from

:54:01. > :54:06.barges. -- Burgess. They will go again. It is a try for Ryan Hall. It

:54:07. > :54:12.is a simpler finish than his first, but none the less pleasing. His try

:54:13. > :54:21.tally in an England shirt is phenomenal. Five tries for the

:54:22. > :54:29.tournament. England are loving every minute of it. It is slick play

:54:30. > :54:37.between Chase and Kevin Sinfield. The move is completed with Sam

:54:38. > :54:46.Tomkins. The winger is in no man's land. Sam Tomkins can drive a truck

:54:47. > :54:57.through that space. It is good skill, squaring up at the line. This

:54:58. > :55:04.was supposed to be a tough day at the office, and it was in the first

:55:05. > :55:11.half. But England are performing superbly well in the second half.

:55:12. > :55:19.They are finding their form and their poise. They are filling

:55:20. > :55:28.themselves with a heap of confidence with the quarterfinals ahead. Kevin

:55:29. > :55:48.Sinfield's tick is not going to Carlin of this time. -- kick is not

:55:49. > :55:53.going to curl enough this time. Ryan Hall will not have an easier finish.

:55:54. > :56:11.This game changed with the kick off at the start of the second half.

:56:12. > :56:19.I have got Lee Mossop with me. What has changed for England in the

:56:20. > :56:30.second half? Not a lot, to be honest. I think we played really

:56:31. > :56:31.well in the first half. Credit to Fiji, they were playing

:56:32. > :57:06.outstandingly. That was not a bad finish to the

:57:07. > :57:26.said six. -- the set of six. Well played, Ryan Hall.

:57:27. > :57:35.Ryan Millard makes the break. Tom Briscoe was a cross to make the

:57:36. > :57:56.tackle. Can Fiji make anything of this?

:57:57. > :58:04.It has gone backwards. It was a Fijian hand that got there first.

:58:05. > :59:02.This game has been thrown wide open in the second half.

:59:03. > :59:11.Chase was hoping to put it behind the fullback. It is picked up by

:59:12. > :59:35.Naiqama. Sam Burgess has gone off for a

:59:36. > :59:39.breather. Neither team have dropped their physicality in the second

:59:40. > :59:40.half. When they have an opportunity to belt each other, they certainly

:59:41. > :00:45.do. white. Slow it down. Keep going.

:00:46. > :00:58.White and green. Here they come! Chris Hill, back post. That close.

:00:59. > :01:02.So, a penalty for England. 18 minutes left. They will score. I am

:01:03. > :01:20.confident of that. It would be a brave ask from Fiji.

:01:21. > :01:25.The way they are executing. Tomkins is trying to get there. There is an

:01:26. > :01:30.overlap to be created. Tomkins fancies that himself. One inch

:01:31. > :01:39.further and it would have been a try. Kevin Sinfield. Rangi Chase.

:01:40. > :01:50.With a big one over the top. Ryan Hall. He loses possession. Not gone

:01:51. > :01:59.and Fiji. Breathing. Get some oxygen in! Ryan Hall beats on the outside.

:02:00. > :02:05.That was a good tackle. Aaron Groom was coming across. And here is Rangi

:02:06. > :02:13.Chase's piece of trickery. Here you go. Could you do that whenever you

:02:14. > :02:18.played? ! All the time! He has been inhibited. It is only in the last

:02:19. > :02:22.couple of games that we have seen him at an international level

:02:23. > :02:32.comfortable enough to try that kind of thing. Against Australia and New

:02:33. > :02:39.Zealand, I remember their first game was Australia and you just don't get

:02:40. > :02:44.a chance. He is showing that he can fit into the structure. He has a

:02:45. > :02:59.freedom to play as well. Fiji had a chance. Robbie Hunter-Paul? Just to

:03:00. > :03:06.add to that, I think he is playing on the back of the forwards. That is

:03:07. > :03:11.a massive platform. That is allowing that little bit of luxury and space.

:03:12. > :03:15.It allows Rangi Chase and Kevin Sinfield. They are starting to enjoy

:03:16. > :03:33.it. They have the time and space with the ball in hand. Korbin Sims.

:03:34. > :03:40.Over 25,000 in here today. Fiji on the ropes for all of the

:03:41. > :03:43.second-half. Very near to having succumbed to a knockout blow but

:03:44. > :03:51.they have somehow managed to climb the Webb act into this game. They

:03:52. > :03:58.will need five tries and five goals to win this from here. And not

:03:59. > :04:18.concede again. -- climb their way back.

:04:19. > :04:32.The Fijian line was up quickly. Rob Burrow. Briscoe in the middle.

:04:33. > :04:40.Looking for it. He has nudged it forward. Fiji have a little bit of

:04:41. > :05:00.hope here. Some inspiration to build from. That was Petero Civoniceva?

:05:01. > :05:11.That is your reason for the dominance of England. 73%

:05:12. > :05:16.possession. 72% territory. We know how England have taken this. In that

:05:17. > :05:24.part of the field, they have to execute, as they did not in the

:05:25. > :05:32.first-half. This is a smart kick play. Briscoe sliding dangerously

:05:33. > :05:44.back and yes just managed to stay in the field of play. -- but he has

:05:45. > :06:11.just. Ryan Hall. Battering his way forward. When did winners become

:06:12. > :06:17.that the? ! -- pig. -- baby. -- big. Kevin Sinfield coming. Whether that

:06:18. > :06:25.is the doctor 's advice? We do not need to risk any further. Putting a

:06:26. > :06:33.code on him. Settling him down for that quarterfinal, which is next

:06:34. > :06:36.Saturday evening at Wigan. That is a place at England are booking with

:06:37. > :06:43.this fine second-half display against Fiji. Rangi Chase, running

:06:44. > :06:54.into trouble. Tackle me, if you can. And they do tackle him. Ryan Hall.

:06:55. > :07:04.Another nightmare for Marika Koroibete. Michael McIllorum. Chris

:07:05. > :07:14.Hill. He has had a great second half. Really good stuff. Chase.

:07:15. > :07:24.Brett Ferres keeps hold. And here comes Rob Burrow. Six left. Tom

:07:25. > :07:30.Briscoe, he says, we will just take the one. Falling house. This is a

:07:31. > :07:35.difference between the international and domestic game. England would

:07:36. > :07:39.have got the ball back in Super League. Because of the advantage.

:07:40. > :07:43.International rules, the advantage was taken and when the forward pass

:07:44. > :08:22.came, it means Fiji get that. They will have to pack down again.

:08:23. > :08:40.Leave that channel clear. Leave it clear! He is not happy.

:08:41. > :09:01.He was denied that opportunity. No, he is all right. That was it big

:09:02. > :09:02.shot for word by Michael McIllorum. He has that fighting spreads down

:09:03. > :09:25.the middle. -- spirit. Ten minutes left to play. All of the

:09:26. > :09:28.damage done by England. It was the opening seven minutes in which they

:09:29. > :09:35.scored those three tries that have set the platform for what has come

:09:36. > :09:39.since. And it all started with three claiming possession from the

:09:40. > :09:53.kick-off. The mentor rolling and it has never stopped. Although... Fiji

:09:54. > :10:04.have an opportunity. Fiji rolling on, still with tackles in the bag.

:10:05. > :10:17.Eventually, they will tackle -- untangle themselves.

:10:18. > :10:46.He isn't bad way. Fiji looking to play on. We saw a glimpse of Rob

:10:47. > :10:55.Rowe, on the sideline. Fiji. Creating space. Leroy Cudjoe with

:10:56. > :11:04.the attempted tackle. That was a great finish, if he got in. The

:11:05. > :11:14.grinding being looked at. Let us hear from the video referee.

:11:15. > :11:17.Watchers food. They are in. His feet are in. He is in the air. Clear.

:11:18. > :11:41.Hand on ball. That is a try. Well, that was a fabulous finish by

:11:42. > :11:50.the young fellow. Semi Radradra Waqavatu. Leroy Cudjoe tried to put

:11:51. > :11:56.out of play. But he was in full flight and it was a very good try, a

:11:57. > :12:02.very good score. Another great Rugby League winger scored. He too got. He

:12:03. > :12:08.had a go at the edges. And he releases the ball. Leroy Cudjoe

:12:09. > :12:12.would have needed to leave the ground to take him out. It was a

:12:13. > :12:16.good finish. How many good score is how many good score as hell be seen

:12:17. > :12:23.in this World Cup? In the air, fabulous finish. He really captured

:12:24. > :12:27.the headlines. He made his debut in June, Semi Radradra Waqavatu, and

:12:28. > :12:40.scored seven tries in his next five appearances.

:12:41. > :13:05.That is a great kick. So, 34 - 12. And another casualty, Rob Burrow. He

:13:06. > :13:16.got the boot in the face. Brave effort. But not a great outcome.

:13:17. > :13:22.Seven minutes left. England lead against Fiji. Their place in the

:13:23. > :13:27.quarterfinals was all but looked before they arrived in whole. But it

:13:28. > :13:35.is the emphatic style in which they enter those quarterfinals. France or

:13:36. > :13:49.Samoa? They lie ahead at Wigan next Saturday.

:13:50. > :14:12.Aaron Groom. Fiji trying to go again. The knock-on forward. It will

:14:13. > :14:20.be England to get possession again. This Rob Burrow helped. What can you

:14:21. > :14:24.give us? He was hit to the head and he disappeared down the tunnel with

:14:25. > :14:28.the doctor. Ironically, the man who replaces him went off at the head

:14:29. > :14:30.injury, Kevin Sinfield. He looked steady on his feet, he is in the

:14:31. > :14:53.dressing room. Chris Hill. Michael McIllorum.

:14:54. > :14:59.England looking to tip the scoreline, if they can. Scampering

:15:00. > :15:07.forward. Sean O'Loughlin striding into position. Kevin Sinfield. Ben

:15:08. > :15:20.Westwood. There was a collision, there. Korbin Sims is not happy. It

:15:21. > :15:39.was almost as if he had stopped for an apology, there. And they are

:15:40. > :15:54.still having a discussion. Bid is a lot of chatter going on. I do not

:15:55. > :16:08.know how they have got the energy. REFEREE: Over here. Take them back,

:16:09. > :16:21.I have asked you twice. It is his forearm. You're allowed to do that.

:16:22. > :16:38.Is Ben Westwood seeing, sorry, I did not mean to do that. -- saying. He

:16:39. > :16:48.is saying, sorry, I did not mean to do that. Come round for sconce next

:16:49. > :17:57.Wednesday. -- scones. Or is he saying pistols in the car park?

:17:58. > :18:00.Sam Tomkins has claimed it with a great deal of authority. This is

:18:01. > :18:52.Ryan Hall. I would consider James Roby in the

:18:53. > :19:15.next game. There is another Burgess brother to consider.

:19:16. > :19:32.Aaron Groom will feed. Fiji are looking to finish strongly. Their

:19:33. > :19:42.quarterfinal will now be on the Sunday, at Warrington, against some

:19:43. > :20:00.or France. -- against Samoa or France. James Storer. England are

:20:01. > :20:22.looking to keep it clean, keep the Fijians at a.

:20:23. > :20:32.That is a heavy drive forward by George Burgess. 80 seconds of the

:20:33. > :20:47.game remaining. This is Michael McIllorum.

:20:48. > :20:56.Ben Westwood, still anxious to get his team as far forward as possible.

:20:57. > :20:59.The six-pack is coming up. They are going to run this because they know

:21:00. > :21:13.how close it is to the end of the game. Kevin Sinfield with the kick

:21:14. > :21:26.over the top. Fiji might get another three tackles.

:21:27. > :21:47.This has been a great work-out for the England team, moving forward in

:21:48. > :21:53.this World Cup. HOOTER. In the second half, it has been a

:21:54. > :22:01.whitewash. It has been all England. Sam Burgess, setting the ball

:22:02. > :22:12.rolling. Then Brett Ferres and Rob Burrow. It is England's day.

:22:13. > :22:17.England's bay by a distance. They will finish second in this group.

:22:18. > :22:22.They have a quarterfinal tie next Saturday at Wigan to look forward

:22:23. > :22:27.to. Sam Burgess is the man of the match.

:22:28. > :22:31.It was a game of two halves? Yes, we probably did not play to our

:22:32. > :22:36.standards in the first half. But we put our foot down at the start of

:22:37. > :22:42.the second half. It was a great team effort. What did the coaching staff

:22:43. > :22:47.say at half-time? The said that we should stay patient. We were forcing

:22:48. > :22:53.the play in the first half. We played smarter in the second period.

:22:54. > :22:59.It was physical, as many people predicted. What was it like to be

:23:00. > :23:03.out there? It was very physical. The Fijians have had a great tournament

:23:04. > :23:10.and I am sure they will be great in the quarterfinals. Feel credit to

:23:11. > :23:19.them, and thanks for the game today. -- full credit.

:23:20. > :23:24.This is how the Group A cable links. England have qualified as

:23:25. > :23:32.runners-up. We will have coverage of their game next Saturday. That was

:23:33. > :23:36.the kind of second half we wanted, wasn't it? It was. All the things

:23:37. > :23:47.that we spoke about, all those things improved. This is a great

:23:48. > :23:53.moment. It shows watched -- the camaraderie between everyone

:23:54. > :24:04.involved in the World Cup. Rugby league is about camaraderie. It is

:24:05. > :24:08.lovely to see that. Yes, I think it is one of the things that we have

:24:09. > :24:14.seen in this World Cup. Whatever happens on the pitch, it is forgot

:24:15. > :24:19.about afterwards. England played really well in the second period. I

:24:20. > :24:23.thought they were very direct. We are trying to get hold of Steve

:24:24. > :24:30.McNamara. He must be a pretty happy coach.

:24:31. > :24:37.Congratulations, it was difficult? It was a proper test match. We

:24:38. > :24:43.always knew it would be. We defended strongly in the first half. We had

:24:44. > :24:47.to. The kind of test that you needed at this stage in the tournament? It

:24:48. > :24:53.is exactly the kind of thing we needed. We have had no easy games

:24:54. > :24:58.and that will bode well for this in the quarterfinals. Was it all about

:24:59. > :25:05.execution in the second half? I think it was. We were frustrated

:25:06. > :25:11.where we finished the game, but I am pleased. Let's try and go through

:25:12. > :25:17.the tries. We have not got much time. England were fantastic, Sam

:25:18. > :25:25.Burgess, man of the match. He was excellent. Straight from the

:25:26. > :25:31.kick-off. Talk about effort. He touches the ball twice in the

:25:32. > :25:38.build-up to this try. I love this piece of play from Kevin Sinfield.

:25:39. > :25:44.He highlights the area that he wants Sam Burgess to go to, he points.

:25:45. > :25:53.This is just a powerful piece of running. Bid is nothing on, but Sam

:25:54. > :26:04.Burgess is just too good. -- there is nothing. This is the other try.

:26:05. > :26:10.This was very direct. That is a long ball across to Chris Hill. We call

:26:11. > :26:16.this a turn-off play. You try and get one of the defenders to commit.

:26:17. > :26:21.That is what Rangi Chase does. It was a great try for Brett Ferres.

:26:22. > :26:26.Let's go back to the pitch to hear from Rick Stone, the Fijian coach.

:26:27. > :26:34.You must be very proud of your guys? Yes, it was a really good

:26:35. > :26:38.effort. England were great in the first 20 minutes of the second half.

:26:39. > :26:45.We could not contain them, but we fought well. Thank you very much.

:26:46. > :26:49.Then it was Ryan Hall. You have seen him score some

:26:50. > :26:57.incredible tries, but this one is right up there? Yes, this is

:26:58. > :27:10.fantastic. You can see the ball go to Chase. Ryan Hall is waiting for

:27:11. > :27:14.Chase to get over there. This is world-class, managing to stay on the

:27:15. > :27:31.pitch and score at the end. I love this shot. Overall, your thoughts on

:27:32. > :27:39.England's performance? It was very good. They started well in the first

:27:40. > :27:44.half, but they did not execute. But they came out in the second half and

:27:45. > :27:48.have a purple patch. We have seen a lot of that in the World Cup.

:27:49. > :27:54.England took the game away from Fiji. Tomorrow night we will have

:27:55. > :28:00.highlights of Italy against Tonga. A massive game that, all the Scottish

:28:01. > :28:10.fans will be watching, because if Italy are victorious, they will beat

:28:11. > :28:14.Scotland to the quarterfinal spot. We will have highlights of that game

:28:15. > :28:25.tomorrow night, and Steve McCormack, the Scotland coach, will be among

:28:26. > :28:36.our guests. We will have the England game live. The build-up will be on

:28:37. > :28:43.the red button. Briefly, what more do you want to see from England next

:28:44. > :28:50.week? Not much. That was not for the perfect half rugby for me. The

:28:51. > :28:53.forward pack were excellent. It is as good as any other team in the

:28:54. > :28:59.competition. Not much needs to change. Gentlemen, thank you very

:29:00. > :29:05.much for your company. It is job done for England. Next up, it is the

:29:06. > :29:10.knockout stages where there are no second chances. Good wife. --
