ANOTHER LOOK AT THE FANTASTIC RUGBY MATCH BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FIJI ON 15/10/2023
WITH TRIES BY TUILAGI, AND MARCHANT FOR ENGLAND, AND THEN FARRELL MORE OR LESS SWEEPING THE BOARD WITH HIS
CONVERSIONS, PENALTIES AND DROP GOALS (SEVEN IN TOTAL!)
FIJI WERE NO WALK-OVER THOUGH, WITH TRIES BY MATA, RAVAI, AND BOTITU, CONVERSIONS BY LOMANI AND KURUVOLI (WHO WAS LITERALLY ALL-OVER-THE-PLACE), AND LOMANI’S PENALTY.
AT ONE POINT, LATE INTO THE GAME IT WAS NECK AND NECK – 24 – 24.
BUT SOME QUICK-THINKING AND EXPERT TEAM-PLAY BY ENGLAND CUT
FIJI OFF AND ALLOWED ENGLAND TO TRIUMPH IN WHAT WAS A GAME OF ENORMOUS PHYSICALITY, EXCITEMENT,
AND MUCH-AFFORDED RESPECT TO SUCH WORTHY ADVERSARIES.
