Greenwood tip England to beat Fiji

September 8, 2015 4:15 am

Former England international, Will Greenwood, says his nation will thump Vodafone Flying Fijians in their opening match of the Rugby World Cup.

Sky Sports reports him saying Fiji stands no chance and England’s structure, defensive prowess and set-piece excellence will frustrate the Fijians.

Greenwood adds it will be a 30 or 40 point win at the end and while it might be five or eight points at half-time, England’s unity and self-belief will take them through and set them up for the Wales game a week later.

Meanwhile, the side will be welcomed to the World Cup on Thursday night (Fiji time) at the Hampton Court Palace.

The opening match of the tournament between Fiji-England will be played on September 19 at 7am.
