LIVERPOOL: England mollified their critics for a week after smothering a dismal Fiji by a record 73-8 in Nations Championship rugby on Saturday. Relevant questions about England’s lineup, tactics and attitude after the hammering from world champion South Africa in Johannesburg last weekend were pacified somewhat by coming home and posting an equally unsurprising 11-try win against outclassed Fiji. Fiji struggled for possession and could not handle England’s scrum, maul and defense. Under pressure, Fiji conceded 12 penalties — nine by halftime — and a red card to scrumhalf Simione Kuruvoli for lashing out with his boot into the stomach of Ellis Genge. That meant Fiji played the entire second half down a man and England could play wider and be ruthless.
