When is England vs Fiji? TV channel, stream FREE and team news for huge Rugby World Cup warm-up
ENGLAND conclude their Rugby World Cup preparations with a tough Summer Series Nations test against Fiji.
Red Rose’s recent results have been far from perfect having lost to both Wales and Ireland in their warm-up matches.
And to make matters worse, Steve Borthwick will be forced to start next month’s tournament without star players Owen Farrell and Billy Vunipola who have both been hit with a suspension.
However, England have a huge chance to finish their preparations on a high as they come up against a wounded Fiji side following their France defeat.
