The Autumn Internationals continue on Saturday as England face their easiest test on paper for some time in Fiji.
Eddie Jones’ Red Rose can feel assured of victory because the hosts have won all six previous games against Pacific Island nation Fiji. The most recent of those came during last year’s Rugby World Cup when England ran out 35-11 winners. A look at the alternative handicap betting for a win by a far bigger margin is a definite shout here.
Red Rose number eight Billy Vunipola crossed in that pool opener and can be backed for a try again at evens after proving his fitness, though the likes of Mike Brown and Jonny May are rested completed. Semesa Rokoduguni and Jonathan Joseph come in alongside Alex Goode, while Elliot Daly moves from centre to the wing. A tasty tryscorer special treble of 5/2 for Rokoduguni, Jospeh and Vunipola all to cross may be worth a wager. Kicker Owen Farrell has also chipped in when it comes to tryscoring of late, so take the centre to follow up on two in his last three internationals at 13/8.
Fiji winger Nemani Nadolo is now catching the eye with French Top 14 team Montpellier after moving from Southern Hemisphere Super Rugby franchise Canterbury Crusaders. Nifty Naholo boasts 17 tries for his country from 23 caps, including one against England last year, so looks an attractive punt at 11/8 to go over again.
