England beat Fiji in opening match of Rugby World Cup

Captain Chris Robshaw applauds fans at the end of the match

England got off to winning ways last night with a 35-11 win over Fiji in the opening match of the Rugby World Cup at Twickenham.

Two tries from full-back Mike Brown helped England to secure victory, which coach Stuart Lancaster described as a 'massive relief'.

"It was a big occasion and there were a few nerves," he told the BBC.

"The opening game can be edgy and you have to give a lot of credit to Fiji", said captain Chris Robshaw.
