Steve Borthwick's side will now take on either France or South Africa.

Steve Borthwick’s side will now take on either France or South Africa England overcame a relentless Fiji side 30-24 in an electric quarter-final on Sunday to reach the last four of the Rugby World Cup and will now take on either hosts France or holders South Africa. Steve Borthwick’s side endured a difficult build-up to the tournament and were surprisingly beaten 30-22 by Fiji in a warm-up game at Twickenham in August, but exacted some measure of revenge in Marseille.

Fiji, making their first quarter-final appearance since 2007, were not going to simply roll over though and a brilliant move saw the ball quickly spread out wide – where England were light – and Peni Ravai powered over the whitewash to make it a one-score game.
