The Fijian Bati suffered a 50-0 thrashing at the hands of England in their warm-up clash at Salford’s AJ Bell Stadium this morning (Fiji time).

This was both team’s final phase of preparations before the Rugby League World Cup kicks off next Saturday.

England scored nine tries to nil as Bati head coach Joe Rabele has a lot to work to do before their World Cup opener against Australia. Rabele rested Viliame Kikau, Api Koroisau and Maika Sivo against England.
