8 h. ago Henry Arundell scorches away to help England finish off battling Fiji

England 38-18 FijiVisitors narrowly denied half-time leadAnother win for England, their ninth in succession, but the word comfortable is definitely not applicable. Only in the final quarter did the home side pull away on the scoreboard and, for lengthy periods, they were made to work extremely hard for their second victory in as many weeks. They will definitely need to find another gear to see off next Saturday’s opponents New Zealand.Equally there is no doubting the fact England are finishing games more strongly and have some rare talent lurking in reserve. This time it was their birthday boy, Henry Arundell, who shone brightest off the bench, scoring one scorching try and looking dangerous every time he touched the ball on his first appearance for England for two years.

4 d. ago Roebuck and Steward injuries likely to trigger major England reshuffle against Fiji

Smith, Arundell and Lawrence in frame to startBorthwick faces dilemmas to backline selectionInjuries to Tom Roebuck and ­Freddie Steward look likely to trigger an eye-catching reshuffle in England’s backline for the Test against Fiji on Saturday.

Steward has not trained so far this week after sustaining a finger injury late in the win against the Wallabies, opening the way for Smith to replace him at full-back. Continue reading...
