Speedster Miles Benjamin and back row giant Netani Talei both enjoyed success for their countries this weekend as our Worcester Warriors tasted international success.
Benjamin was the star performer as his brilliant brace helped England open their Junior World Champion-ship campaign in style with a 41-17 victory over Fiji.
The Warriors wing scored two of England’s six first-half tries with Noah Cato and Alex Goode, and Seb Stegmann also touching down.
Benjamin scored his first in the opening quarter and his second on the half-hour was a powerful finish after Stegmann opened up Fiji with his break down the right.
Meanwhile, Talei started at Number 8 as Fiji scored five tries to beat Samoa 34-17 in their Pacific Nations Cup encounter at Prince Charles Park in Lautoka.
First half tries to captain Mosese Rauluni and Timoci Nagusa gave the home team a 12-0 at the break. Further tries to cousins Taniela and Iferemi Rawaqa, plus a second to Nagusa gave Fiji a 34-0 lead. Taniela Rawaqa was successful with conversions and a penalty.
Fiji are next in action when they face New Zealand Maori on Saturday.
