Mark Mapletoft's side followed their six-try comeback victory against Argentina with another stellar attacking display as they notched eight tries in Cape Town on Thursday.
England flanker Finn.
Carnduff and scrum-half Ollie Allan were the sole survivors from their win over Argentina, and captain Carnduff said: "We were great for the first 40 and went in at half-time and said we wanted to come out and play more of the same, but Fiji came back out on top, and we were punished at the end.
"Our penalty count was poor for large periods of the game, and we need to improve on it. I think today showed strength in our squad depth, and rotation is key in a tournament like this. There were some outstanding debuts today.
Now, we turn our attention to South Africa." It was a poor start for Fiji, with Ebenezer Navula shown a yellow card for a crocodile roll. Despite the sin bin they opened the scoring with Isikeli Basiyalo slotting a penalty.
England responded in typical fashion with a powerful driving maul getting them over the line, with hooker James Issacs claiming the score.
Fiji tried to play wide however their players were getting isolated. As a result, England were able to dominate at the breakdown, earning two early turnovers, them easy field position with Ben Coen kicking his men downfield.
