England head coach Eddie Jones has claimed that his side will beat Fiji when they welcome the Pacific Islanders to Twickenham next weekend.
Jones is yet to taste defeat during his time in charge of England, with Saturday's 37-21 victory over South Africa making it 11 consecutive wins for the team.
The Australian is confident of extending that record further against Fiji, and revealed that his tactic will be to "bore" their visitors to death.
"We just have to bore them to death. You go to Fiji and everyone is throwing 15-metre torpedo passes, flicking the ball through their legs, side stepping. If they can't do that they get bored. If they get bored they don't want to play and when they do that you get points against them. We are going to win the game and I want to win it conclusively. To win it conclusively we have to bore them to death," he told reporters.
"It doesn't mean playing bad rugby, instead it means being smart against them. We spent Friday night watching Fiji. The last time England played Fiji at Twickenham it was a very inconclusive performance. We want a conclusive performance on Saturday against them, then we'll worry about Argentina and Australia. The weather doesn't matter. My wife said to me that I always used to worry about the rain with other teams and now you don't. That's because it doesn't matter with this team - we are completely adaptable.
"I want people to deserve their opportunity. To start for England has to be the proudest thing of their lives and to do that you have to earn it. There are a few players who have earned it and they will get it. If you come in the fly by night, you're not going to start for England. I don't believe in that. We want to keep improving the team, so there are guys that I want to have a look at who I think may be better than the guys I have in now, so there may be opportunities for others. I'm only going to select people who are better than what we have at the moment or potentially can be better."
England beat Fiji 35-11 last time the two sides met in the opening match of the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
