Jordan becomes New Zealand's all
England's rugby team secured a dominant 73-8 victory over Fiji, while New Zealand defeated Italy 47-17 in the Nations Championship. Will Jordan made history by becoming New Zealand's all-time leading try-scorer during the match.
Why it matters
These results reflect significant shifts in international rugby standings and individual player milestones within the Nations Championship.
Benhard Janse van Rensburg and Noah Caluori made try-scoring debuts and Henry Pollock plundered a hat-trick as clinical England ended their five-Test losing run by dismantling Fiji 73-8 at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Steve Borthwick's men bounced back from the 45-21 mauling by South Africa that opened their Nations Championship with an 11-try rout of dismal opposition who saw Simione Kuruvoli sent off for kicking Ellis Genge in first-half overtime.
Fiji trailed 35-3 when Kuruvoli departed, with South African-born Van Rensburg among the try scorers just 218 seconds after coming on as an HIA replacement for Henry Slade and three days after qualifying for England on residency grounds.
