Prem talking points: Henry Arundell, Tom Curry and Benhard Janse van Rensburg

Two pacey finishes – the first an 80m interception, the second the match-winner – took him to six tries in six games, while a clever chip kick helped set up impressive number eight Arthur Green’s score.

But just as important to Johann van Graan, who compared Arundell’s top-end speed to Springbok great Bryan Habana, was the lesser-seen stuff.

Arundell has made more metres (548) and line breaks (16) than any other player in the Prem so far this season. He is also joint second for defenders beaten (25).

“The main things for a winger is always finishes and he can finish – Henry has out-and-out speed,” the Bath coach told TNT Sports.

“But he has worked on his defence both at Bath and with England. We spoke about his aerial work and he has worked so hard on his contact skills, that is the sign of a player who wants to improve.

“He is hungry to play for us and he is hungry to play for his country.”

A 14-minute cameo against Fiji will have done little to sate that appetite over the autumn. Wing is a congested position in Steve Borthwick’s England squad, but Arundell is edging his way up the queue.
