Match Commentary

88'		England captain Chris Robshaw acknowledged that it didn't entirely go to plan on the Twickenham pitch - "We always knew it was going to be tough and come down to the last five or ten minutes. We got what we wanted to. We were a little cagey out there but I think it comes down to emotion for the opening game of the Rugby World Cup. They put us under a lot of pressure but we got what we wanted." "We always knew how well Fiji have been playing recently. They're an extremely talented side, ninth in the world and credit to Fiji for making us work. We'll take that, it's a good start and we have a massive two weeks coming up."
87'		England winger Jonny May had this to say - "We went out and established a hold on the game, everything was going to plan, but with some loose play we lost some discipline. I feel frustrated as when we played the way we wanted to we could have won by a lot more than that." "A great team effort, the subs brought a great impact of the bench and we're happy to get the win."
