England slumped to a fifth defeat in six matches as Fiji beat them for the first time as both sides ended their World Cup preparations at Twickenham.

The Pacific Islanders scored three second-half tries in changeable weather conditions as they overturned a half-time deficit.

England salvaged hope late on when Joe Marchant’s try and George Ford’s conversion brought them within a point.

But Selestino Ravutaumada set up Simione Kuruvoli sealed victory.
