:02:32. > :02:37.for an exciting contest. Lethal from New Zealand...
:02:37. > :02:42.The truth is, at New Zealand are more cynical and they continued

:03:30. > :03:37.Australia. A real challenge for England against South Africa.
:03:37. > :03:43.South Africa simply overpowered England. England have been taught a
:03:43. > :03:50.lesson in Test rugby. It is Australia, South Africa and
:03:50. > :03:55.New Zealand to come. First, Fiji. The last time the two countries met
:03:55. > :04:03.was in 1999. In the English back row was lines Dallaglio. Do you
:04:03. > :04:06.remember that? I do. It is a great day here at Twickenham. Then we
:04:06. > :04:11.went out against South Africa the following week. Great to see Fiji
:04:11. > :04:14.back. They have a wonderful tradition in the seven-a-side game.
:04:14. > :04:21.This will be a good test for England in what is going to be an

:05:08. > :05:11.relaxed and focused, but giving the players the opportunity to enjoy
:05:11. > :05:17.themselves and express themselves. Will we see a different type of
:05:17. > :05:21.England? I think we will. Defence at Test-match level is almost taken
:05:21. > :05:26.for granted. Good sides at this level will always be able to defend
:05:26. > :05:31.well. The onus is to come up with creativity, attacking flair, and
:05:31. > :05:36.play with the shackles off. That is what Andy Farrell will be working
:05:36. > :05:40.on, trying to get them scoring tries, trying to find ways of
:05:40. > :05:43.running into space rather than bodies. If they get opportunities,

:05:51. > :05:55.coming up. There are so many wonderful stories today, but
:05:55. > :06:03.especially Tom Youngs. He has gone from centre to a her go. Amazing
:06:03. > :06:06.story. He needs to find the strength and depth. It is a great
:06:06. > :06:10.opportunity for Tom Youngs. I remember young Steve Thompson
:06:10. > :06:16.playing in the back row and then he was asked to move and it was a

:27:18. > :27:21.this first half. But on the scoreboard, they are in a very

:27:25. > :27:34.threatened to get their points on the board, but England are in
:27:34. > :27:40.So England ended the first half in confident style. It was a nervy
:27:40. > :27:45.start. It was. You have to feel a bit sorry for the Fijians. It is
:27:45. > :27:52.probably not a reflection of how well they played. England were
:27:52. > :27:57.affected by the early sin-binning of Danny Care. Later, things
:27:57. > :28:01.started to happen. Charlie Sharples was very positive. England can be
:28:01. > :28:05.reasonably happy with the first half. As the half progressed,
:28:05. > :28:11.England looked comfortable with the ball in hand. That is what Stuart
:28:11. > :28:16.Lacaze to once. Very much so. Perhaps for the second half, maybe
:28:16. > :28:24.Stuart Lancaster will be saying, let's be more direct. Let's get
:28:24. > :28:28.some of our forwards running at Fiji, sucking them in. With
:28:28. > :28:34.Sharples, we have the finishing power. Plenty of strength and depth
:28:34. > :28:37.on the bench as well. Big things are expected of Joe Launchbury. You
:28:37. > :28:42.have been impressed with him. Stuart Lancaster has a lot of
:28:42. > :28:47.options. He might give some of those younger guys the opportunity
:28:47. > :28:57.to impress. I would have expected England to pile on the points in
:28:57. > :29:16.
:29:16. > :29:23.minutes without reply for England against Fiji. We saw Monye on the

:49:27. > :49:33.beaten Fijians, because they enjoyed their day playing at
:49:34. > :49:37.Twickenham, if not the result. There was a bright debut from Tom

:49:47. > :49:52.to come, but they have seen off Stewart, congratulations. In more
:49:52. > :49:58.ways than one, it is job done. It is job done. We were a bit slow out

:50:02. > :50:06.But as we've got control of the game, I thought our attacking came

:50:17. > :50:21.particular. A tenth set of brothers to pull on the shirt for their
:50:21. > :50:26.country. A proud moment for you? was always a gold bars. But you
:50:26. > :50:31.never think it will come true. It is something very special which
:50:31. > :50:38.will never be taken away from us. Are your family here today? Yeah,
:50:38. > :50:47.it is a great moment for my parents and grandparents. It has been
:50:47. > :50:56.fantastic. Back to work on Monday. To play at Twickenham in front of a
:50:56. > :51:00.full house was a fantastic experience. And you've finished
:51:00. > :51:05.your two try as well. You must be pleased with your performance.
:51:05. > :51:11.was delighted that I managed to see quite a bit of the ball. It went
:51:11. > :51:18.pretty well. A shrewd you have had a third? No, I think that would
:51:18. > :51:22.have been dubious. I am happy with two. Don't get greedy. How well can
:51:22. > :51:29.you do against the tough opposition to come? It will be a massive
:51:29. > :51:33.challenge. Stewart has created a great vibe there. It was the first
:51:33. > :51:38.time Twickenham had sold out today for a Pacific Nations games. It was
:51:38. > :51:41.an incredible atmosphere out there. It is on tour Australia now, and we
:51:42. > :51:45.will see what happens. Given how well you played with ball in hand
:51:45. > :51:52.today, is this an indication of what we are likely to see from this
:51:52. > :51:56.England side, or will you treat each opposition as it comes?
:51:56. > :52:01.have specific game plans for each side. But generally, we want to
:52:01. > :52:06.play rugby. But you don't just win rugby games by throwing the ball
:52:06. > :52:11.around. It is about good defence, counter-attacking well. When you
:52:11. > :52:14.get the opportunities, you have to take them. There were bits and
:52:14. > :52:18.pieces where we did well and things where we could do better.
:52:18. > :52:22.Lawrence, it is all smiles in the England dressing room. It is the
:52:22. > :52:27.perfect start. It is the perfect start, a record victory against
:52:27. > :52:35.Fiji. England will be relatively satisfied with the results. There
:52:35. > :52:44.are lots of positives as well. Sharples played exceptionally well.
:52:44. > :52:49.Alex Goode put his hand up for selection. Youngs added to their
:52:49. > :52:54.strength and depth. But England will be critical of leaving a lot
:52:54. > :52:57.of points out on the field. If I was to analyse their performance,
:52:57. > :53:01.they got in the habit of running across the field and not taking as
:53:01. > :53:05.many opportunities as they could. It was interesting talking to
:53:05. > :53:09.Stuart Lancaster, asking him, is this what we are likely to see over
:53:10. > :53:13.the next few weeks? Obviously, they will have to tighten up against
:53:13. > :53:17.Australia, South Africa and New Zealand. England will have to be
:53:17. > :53:22.more direct, drawing in their defences before they spread the
:53:22. > :53:26.ball wide, taking advantage of the pace they have on the wings. They
:53:26. > :53:31.have to take the game to the opposition. Defensively, those guys
:53:31. > :53:35.will pose more questions. But the set piece went well today. England
:53:35. > :53:38.looked very comfortable with the ball in hand. We are all very
:53:38. > :53:48.pleased with the fact that they manage to get the scoreboard
:53:48. > :53:53.ticking over. Flood showed all the ability he has. It is a wonderful
:53:53. > :53:57.moment for Stuart Lancaster. On Monday, he will consider whether
:53:57. > :54:02.Chris Ashton comes back into the side. He has lots of players out
:54:02. > :54:09.there putting their hands up for the jersey. Yes, Alex Goode is now
:54:09. > :54:15.giving a headache, with Ben Foden being out. Then we have Youngs, so
:54:15. > :54:19.yes, plenty of selection issues for Stuart Lancaster. Looking ahead,
