    FT: England 38-18 Fiji

    Fiji coach Mick Byrne, speaking to BBC Sport about the try his side had disallowed at 26-18 down during the second half: "I think we did good work in the lead-up and it didn’t look like he lost control. It would have been a nice try to score.

    "I am not sure if we would have won the game, but it would have kept the momentum going our way. But that is just the way it has gone.

    "Full credit to England and Steve [Borthwick] for what they have done in the last 20 minutes.

    "One of the things we came into today was a battle in the air and I thought at time we handled ourselves really well and we exited really well. We are making progress that we need to be making, moving forward to 2027.

    "We will learn from today, for what is required to go for the 80 minutes, and we will be fitter and stronger."

    FT: England 38-18 Fiji

    England head coach Steve Borthwick on where the match was won: "We've seen in Test matches that the margins are so small.

    "It is about understanding the fitness of the players for going 80 minutes and the impact of the bench.

    "That, alongside composure and resilience, are important components."

    England Rugby

    England centre Fraser Dingwall, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "For the first half we didn’t get things right and they capitalised on that and moved us around a lot. With the players they have, they can go wide-to-wide and create offloads, then all of a sudden it becomes hard to handle.

    "In the second half, we got the hang of it and I knew we were always going to create opportunities and we had to capitalise on that and do a good job.

    "I think the style of rugby they wanted to play, they wanted to be transition-based, and they wanted to be loose, and we fed into that in the first half.

    "Attack-wise we were creating a lot, we were just not picking it up enough.

    "This week is an exciting week. We will learn from this game and attack the next game [against New Zealand]."

    On a nine-game winning streak: "It’s been a lot of hard work. But we will keep kicking on."

    England Rugby

    Centre Ollie Lawrence, who made his England return today after a long spell out injured, has been speaking to TNT Sports:

    "Everything that happened in the Six Nations was tough, coming back was hard but put it into perspective and the journey it had been.

    "You're always going to have obstacles in life, my mindset was to attack it and to make sure I could get back here for the autumn games.

    "I'm nowhere near the finished product but I made a promise to myself to make sure I got better each day, so that I could be on this field with the lads today.

    "It's a special day for me. Sometimes you can take for granted being in the jersey and it's important to remember it's never yours, you're only borrowing it. I was really grateful to be back here to see the stadium packed and to be back out there with the boys - I can't really put it into words."

    Man of the match Ben Earl, speaking to TNT Sports: "It was one of the hardest games of rugby I have had to play. They have world-class players across the pitch.

    "I think we are trying to grow our game week on week. Each opposition brings different opportunities.

    "We always knew that is it called a Test match for a reason. We have to give the respect to Fiji, they brought a plan that troubled us in the first half but I think our bench was brilliant."

    I think this was a good exercise for Steve Borthwick, who is growing as in international coach, learning from his mistakes.

    An opportunity to move things around and get some Test match minutes into players.

    Six tries for England against a very tricky opponent. It took a little while to kill the game off, but their early efforts paid dividends late in the contest.

    Next up, it's New Zealand at Allianz Stadium next Saturday.

    Into the final minute now and England have a scrum inside their own 22.

    One moment of magic to finish off?

    Nope - Ben Spencer kicks the ball out to touch and England win by 20 points.
