Wing Arundell became the first Englishman to score five tries in a Test for 20 years as Steve Borthwick’s side smashed Chile 71-0 to finally lay down a tournament marker.
The 20-year-old equalled Josh Lewsey’s mark, set in the 111-13 hammering of Uruguay in the 2003 World Cup, as 11-try England ran riot. And Farrell insists the flyer, who will move to Racing 92 after this World Cup, has got the lot and is not just a try machine.
Farrell said: “Everybody knows what talent Henry’s got. He’s shown it before today. He’s shown it for London Irish, he showed it when he got his first touch in international rugby against Australia.
“A big thing that Henry showed today was that he got after everything in between. He didn’t just finish tries today. He got balls back in the air, he chased hard and worked hard for the team. Ultimately, he got his rewards off the back of that. He does what he does unbelievably well.”
