England know they will not have it all their own way against Fiji this afternoon. It was two years ago that the two nations last clashed at the Allianz Arena, with Fiji running out 30-22 winners. Fiji head coach Mick Byrne will hope lightening strikes twice. It was Fiji's maiden victory against England in eight attempts and two months later they took Steve Borthwick's men to the wire in the last eight of the World Cup. Steve Borthwick has made seven changes from last week's win over Australia, with the like of Marcus Smith, Fin Smith and Ollie Lawrence all returning. Chandler Cunningham-South's gets a first start at No8. England's main flaw in a dominant win against the Wallabies was the failure to turn pressure into points, so Borthwick will hope an improvement in his side's kicking and running games can make the difference.
