Fiji wing Jiuta Wainiqolo heads into Saturday's Nations Championship clash with England in outstanding form, having topped the try-scoring charts in France's Top 14 and established himself as one of the most exciting wings in world rugby. The 27-year-old, a former footballer who likens his old striking prowess to Harry Kane's, poses a significant threat to an England side that has lost five successive Tests, and he has vowed that Fiji will play with greater physicality after their recent defeat by Wales.

Wainiqolo scored 18 tries in 20 games for Lyon this season, outstripping his nearest rival, France's Louis Bielle-Biarrey, who managed 13 for European champions Bordeaux Bègles. Standing 6ft 2in and weighing 15st 4lb, he credits football agility drills for his footwork and was Fiji's top try-scorer with five in their gold-medal Sevens campaign at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics. He moved from Toulon to Lyon after feeling squeezed out by rules favouring home-grown players, and the two sides meet at Liverpool's Hill Dickinson Stadium at 14:10 BST on Saturday 11 July, with Fiji having beaten England for the first time in August 2023.
