England lived up to their status as overwhelming favourites as they made it three wins out of three at the Rugby World Cup in Lille on Saturday. Steve Borthwick’s side are sitting pretty at the Pool D summit and roaring into the quarter-finals after all the concern following a dismal build-up to the tournament was washed away further by an 11-try rout of the tournament debutants.
Henry Arundell equalled a single-game England record held by the likes of Josh Lewsey and Rory Underwood by notching five of those scores himself, while there were two apiece from Theo Dan and Marcus Smith, with Bevan Rodd and Jack Willis also getting in on the act on a memorable night.
Borthwick now has some important selection dilemmas to ponder as the last eight approaches, with his side first meeting Samoa back in Lille in a fortnight’s time in their final group match.
