FLYING WINGER BACK WITH A BANG FOR SIX-TRY ENGLAND

- By DUNCAN BECH

Speed king Arundell shows the X-Factor

HENRY Arundell’s searing pace makes even the fastest players appear slow, according to his England teammate Alex Mitchell.

Arundell switched on the afterburners for his crucial 69th-minute try that gave England control of their autumn clash at Allianz Stadium, which they eventually won 38-18.

The Bath wing was the first to reach Marcus Smith’s grubber, outpacing speedsters Kalaveti Ravouvou and Sireli Maqala and prodding the ball forward before touching down.

It was a thrilling reminder of the 23-year-old’s athletic gifts as he celebrated the end of his England exile after spending two seasons in French club rugby by showing he is an X-factor talent who is too good to be overlooked.

The move started from an inaccurate Fiji kick-pass and scrumhalf Mitchell said: “When the ball is in the air it can go either way because of the way the game is now.
