Rob Kitson’s report has just dropped. Phew, that was a cracking game. How good is the World Cup? How good is rugby? How good is this England team? We’ll find out next week.

It’s France or South Africa. Either will present a much tougher challenge than the spirited Fijians. But that’s a thought for another day. Tonight is for celebrating and commiserating.

Thanks for joining me.

Worth taking another look at Ben Earl’s rampage.

If it was up to me I’d have given him the player of the match gong. He made 130 metres from 11 carries and made 14 tackles.

Ben Earl is THAT guy! 😮‍💨#ENGvFIJ | #RWC2023pic.twitter.com/I1JEAgeS8S
