'England didn't put the foot on the throat' - Dawson

Rugby World Cup winner Matt Dawson believes England weren't ruthless enough against Fiji.

The hosts were made to work hard by their opponents but pulled away in the last 20 minutes to secure a bonus-point win at Twickenham.

Summarising for 5 live sport, Dawson thought England compared poorly to the world's best, saying: "At crucial moments they didn't put the foot on the throat, like an All Black side would have done, like a South Africa side would have done, probably - in the current climate - like France would have done.”
