England coach Stuart Lancaster has warned banned wing Chris Ashton to be more careful in future.
Finishers
Ashton has actually yet to score a try in Lancaster's reign, though the dual-code international has still touched down 15 times in his 26 England Tests.
It seems likely that Ugo Monye and Charlie Sharples will get the chance to start on the wing against Fiji with Alex Goode offering a ball-playing presence from full-back.
"You cannot just manufacture finishers. They come through the Premiership and we aim to pick them from there," Lancaster said.
"Danny Care, Ben Youngs, Alex Goode, Toby Flood, Owen Farrell - there are lots of playmakers in our team, people who can change the course of a game.
"The game is not just won by game breakers. You can break a game by scrumming and scrumming, mauling well, kicking your points. That's what makes a winning team. We have to get that balance right."
