'Out of my way Wigglesworth!'

Nemani Nadolo is already a Super Rugby and Fijian star given his electric try-scoring performances in recent years. This evening, at Twickenham, he announced himself to the rest of the world. Nadolo scored a superb first half try and went off on one in the second-half. With Fiji 18-8 behind, going into the final quarter 'Nemzy' hared up the left flank and had several English players grasping at thin air. He fended off Mako Vunipola before making short work of replacement scrum-half Richard Wigglesworth and hooker Tom Youngs. https://twitter.com/USASevensRugby/status/644973215304032256 Unfortunately for Fiji, their place- and goal-kicking were less than par. They squandered penalties and kicks for touch, allowing England to finish them off in the final 10 minutes. Mike Brown was superb for the hosts, scoring two tries and gaining a whopping 172 metres.
