LONDON (AP) — England won a ninth successive test when it outlasted Fiji 38-18 at Twickenham on Saturday.
The teams thrillingly went back and forth and England didn’t get safe separation on the scoreboard until Henry Arundell’s 69th-minute try.
Two yellow cards were costly for Fiji as England doubled down on the man advantage by scoring tries straight afterward. Caleb Muntz’s failure to convert their three tries also gave England breathing room but Fiji’s power and flair meant England could never take its eyes off the Pacific islanders.
England tallied six tries to achieve its longest winning streak in eight years, and Grand Slam-chasing New Zealand was the next visitor.
