England scored nine tries, including two each for Jonathan Joseph, Semesa Rokoduguni and Joe Launchbury, to rack up a record 58-15 victory over an out- gunned Fiji on Saturday,taking Eddie Jones' winning run to 11 matches. With Owen Farrell and George Ford pulling the strings, Joseph, Elliot Daly, Rokoduguni, Teimana Harrison and Launchbury scored in a one-sided opening to make it 31-0 after 27 minutes at Twickenham. Fiji finally got some ball and claimed tries through Nemani Nadolo and Leone Nakarawa to cut the deficit to 34-10 at halftime and they got another by Metuisela Talebula soon afterwards. It was only temporary however, as England quickly regained control and took full advantage of a tiring Fiji defence with Joseph, Rokoduguni and Launchbury getting their second tries and fullback Alex Goode also crossing the line. The 43-point winning margin bettered the previous best from England's 54-12 victory over Fiji in 2012.
