England stretched their winning run to 12 matches as they ran in nine tries against Fiji at Twickenham.
Jonathan Joseph, Elliot Daly, Semesa Rokoduguni, Teimana Harrison and Joe Launchbury gave England a big lead.
Fiji hit back as Nemani Nadolo, Leone Nakarawa and Metuisela Talebula scored either side of the break.
But further scores from Joe Launchbury (two), Joseph, Alex Goode and Rokoduguni saw England secure their biggest winning margin against Fiji.

'Good fish and chips'
England head coach Eddie Jones had promised "fish and chip" rugby - namely that the hosts would produce a traditional, structured game to play to their strengths and not let things get loose, which would benefit Fiji.
But, although they duly used the power of their driving line-out to score three first-half tries, they also showed plenty of ambition, with the 10-12 axis of George Ford and Owen Farrell combining well to release the backs.
The skilful and explosive Fijians finally came to life near the break, scoring three quick tries as England slipped below the standards they had set initially.
But in the end the hosts - who made five changes to their starting XV and brought on several youngsters from the bench in the second half - equalled their highest ever total against the visitors.
"It was good fish and chips," Jones told BBC Sport. "It doesn't mean fish and chips is basic. I thought we played some sparkling rugby, really good stuff. The ball movement, crispness of passing was fantastic."

Four-try burst
Recalled centre Joseph opened the scoring inside the first few minutes, skipping over from Owen Farrell's nicely delayed pass, and Daly was next to cross, latching on to to Ford's long pass and leaving the Fiji defenders tripping over each other as he cruised over.
Rokoduguni then scored his first Test try, against the land of his birth, and two tries from driven line-outs, for Harrison and Launchbury, meant England were still scoring at better than a point a minute at the half-hour mark.
"George [Ford] and Owen [Farrell] were clever, they read the game well, read their defence well, which created opportunities for the outside guys," added Jones.
"Rokoduguni has definitely got a smile on his face. I'm really pleased for him because he worked hard to get this chance. He got a lot of reward for the hard work he's done."

Fiji fight back
Fiji had yet to make it into England's 22, denying the world class Nadolo and sevens star Nakarawa the chance to show what they could do.
And, when they did finally get down the other end of the pitch, the pair featured prominently before the former crashed over in the corner for their first try.
On the stroke of half-time it was Nakarawa showing his power and skill to stretch over despite the attention of a pack of England defenders.
And early in the second half full-back Talebula beat three men on his way to their third score.
But Jones was not too disheartened by the Fijians' fight back.
"We are a young team, in terms of only being together 11 games. We are not going to get everything absolutely right," he said.

England regain control
England had been knocked out of their stride but they managed to regroup and pull away convincingly.
Goode scored his first Test try, courtesy of prop Mako Vunipola's perfect take-and-give pass, before Joseph picked off a speculative pass from Fiji's Cornwall-born fly-half Josh Matavesi to score an interception try to complete his brace.
And there was still time for Rokoduguni and Launchbury - the latter becoming only the second England second row to score two tries in a Test - to complete doubles of their own.
"Our control was pretty good, at certain times we wanted to join the party but our discipline was pretty good. We can't be too disappointed with that result," added Jones.

Just want to say how sad it is that Fiji (union and players) receive so little money from this game.
Ian Ritchie said the RFU have no obligation to fund Fiji rugby and he's right but the Pacific islands bring a lot to world rugby. They're leaking players and don't have the money to improve their infra.
World Rugby needs to address the growing gap.
Wales were pants but they were still expected to comfortably beat Japan. Japan moved the ball well, defended well and were unfortunate not to at least draw. It was a good match for the neutral and good to see how teams like Japan are improving.
How much did they pay the officials?
Two reds would have been given against any other team in the world.
Can we (Wales) borrow Eddie Jones please.
The Kiwis play a brand of rugby that's almost rollerball. This ref, and most others, don't have the 'Gilberts' to stand up to them.

im am not however proud of the awful commentary today, this is nothing to do with gender, its to do with knowledge of the game, a voice that is easy on the ear, intonation and flow
We need a referendum on the BBC licence charge - wall to wall reality TV is not value for money.
