Fiji were ill disciplined and lacking accuracy as Steve Borthwick's side put them to the sword.

From Merseyside Alex Lowe and Will Kelleher reflect on a bizarre and messy match. They ask what can England take away from the victory given that Fiji were so poor? Does this ease the pressure on Steve Borthwick? Or is the real test how they get on next week against Argentina?
