Fan thrown down rows of stands in shocking fight during England’s Rugby World Cup win over Fiji

Some England fans were reportedly removed from their Rugby World Cup win over Fiji for fighting in the stands.

During the quarter-final clash at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille, footage caught the unsavoury scenes in the stands.

Fans dressed similar to former Navy officer Horatio Nelson could be seen fighting some of those around them in the upper tier.

One in particular was seen picking up a supporter and throwing them about two rows in front.

The Good, The Bad & The Rugby posted the footage on X and said that ‘several England fans were removed for fighting’.

England sealed their place in the semi-finals of the tournament with a 30-24 triumph.

They will face the winner of the France vs South Africa tie on Saturday, with a match against the latter a replay of the 2019 final.

First-half tries from Manu Tuilagi and Joe Marchant, as well as three Owen Farrell penalties, gave England a 21-10 lead at half-time.

Farrell then added another three points before Fiji mounted a comeback to level the scoring.

Peni Ravai and Vilimoni Botitu both scored tries to take it to 24-24, but it was England who completed the scoring.

A drop-goal and fifth penalty from Farrell, to take him to 20 point scored, was enough to send England through with a 30-24 win.

Late pressure from Fiji had fans witnessing a nail-biting end to the match but Steve Borthwick’s side are now in their sixth Rugby World Cup semi-final.
