Fiji booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup against England despite suffering a shock defeat by Portugal in the final pool match of the tournament on Sunday night.
The Portuguese recorded their first-ever RWC win with a 24-23 triumph in Toulouse but the Fijians still secured second place in Pool C thanks to their losing bonus point for not going down by more than seven points.
That also confirmed Australia’s first-ever pool-stage exit as Eddie Jones’s side finished third and he missed out on a last-eight clash with his former side.
England secured their place in the knockout phase when Japan beat Samoa and Steve Borthwick’s side finished their Pool D campaign with an unconvincing 18-17 win over Samoa, their third victory from three matches.
The quarter-final will be a rematch of England’s final warm-up match for this tournament, when they suffered a shock defeat as the Fijians recorded their first-ever win over the English.
When is it?
England will take on Fiji in the Rugby World Cup quarter-final on Sunday October 15. The game kicks off at 4pm BST, 5pm local time.
