England are braced for a "seismic explosion" when Semesa Rokoduguni and Nemani Nadolo collide during Fiji's visit to Twickenham on Sunday.

The Pacific Islanders have spoken of the special treatment Rokoduguni and Nathan Hughes will be given due to their Fijian origins after both opted to represent the Red Rose on grounds of residency.

Rokoduguni is the Aviva Premiership's joint‑leading try‑scorer and the competition's form wing, while Nadolo is a 6 foot 5 inch, 22 stone giant cast in the image of Jonah Lomu.

Rokoduguni will make only his second Test appearance on Sunday having been dropped after a 24‑21 defeat by New Zealand two years ago.

Flying Fijians coach John McKee says they will not focus too much on individuals but the English team as a whole.

The Flying Fijians will be naming their starting line-up against England later tonight.

Fiji will take on England at 3.30am Sunday.
