Preview
England are the favorites to win the match, but Fiji will be hoping to cause an upset. England have a strong all-round team, while Fiji are known for their attacking flair.
The key to the match will be the battle up front. England have a powerful forward pack, while Fiji are known for their mobile and skillful forwards.
If England can win the battle up front, they will be in a good position to win the match. However, if Fiji can get on the front foot and play their attacking game, they will be a dangerous proposition.
Prediction
England are the favorites to win the match, but I think Fiji will give them a run for their money. I predict a close match, with England winning by a narrow margin.
