It will not be easy against Fiji Bati-Peacock

Former England captain Jamie Peacock reckons there are two basic approaches England can take when they take on the Vodafone Fiji Bati this Sunday.

Peacock who scored a hat-trick in England’s 66-10 victory over Fiji at the 2000 Rugby League World Cup has memories that he would want to forget after a bone-crunching tackle that left him with three chipped teeth at the back of his mouth.

He said Fiji will just come out and hit you so hard and anyone who has seen them in this World Cup will know England can expect more of the same.

He thinks the smartest thing would be to adopt a mixture of defense and attack but it will not be easy against a side that possesses a top-quality back division and some awesome forwards such as veteran prop Petero Civoniceva.

England will play the Vodafone Fiji Bati this Sunday at 3.30am.

Meanwhile Scotland play USA at 9am today.
