Genge warns England that laughing cavaliers will be nasty on pitch
ELLIS GENGE has seen Fiji's happy hit men at close quarters - and has warned England not to get hoodwinked by their smiles today at Twickenham.
Genge plays club rugby at Bristol with two of Fiji's hardest tacklers - No.8 Bill Mata and centre Kalaveti Ravouvou - and has highlighted how ruthless they are behind the grins.
Prop Genge leads England out this afternoon, with Maro Itoje on the bench, wary of the threat of the South Sea Island big guns, who stunned HQ with a 30-22 win two years ago.
The captain has marked his side's card about what to expect.
Genge said: ‘At the club, Fijians are the ones who are always laughing, joking and they're brilliant, brilliant people. They're very laid back and very casual. But don't be fooled. Bill Mata (circle, right) is a nasty piece of work when hes on the pitch.
