England will play the winner of France and South Africa in the semi-finals

The England team secured a place in the Rugby World Cup in France on Sunday.

The Steve Borthwick-coached side advanced to the semi-finals against Fiji at the end of a duel in which a first half dominated by the English made the difference.

At half-time it was 21-10 in favor of the British thanks to points from Farrell, Tuilagi and Marchant.

In the second half, England’s opponents were dangerously close, especially after successful essays by Rawai (min. 64) and Botitu (min. 68).

Emotions dissipated after Farrell scored more points for England in the 72nd and 78th minutes.
