Henry Arundell was the headline-grabbing scorer of five tries, but Marcus Smith's influence might be of longer-lasting significance for England.
It is a special statistic from a special player. All bottom-end power and top-end speed, he is capable of carving up like a doner chef at closing time.His fourth was deftly taken with a chip over the cover defence, but for the rest he went in unopposed after Chile's red wall had been crumbled to dust."It's the work done up front then the smarts from the inside lads to get the ball wide. I really appreciate all they've done for me.
On another occasion, he flung a pass over Max Malins when a little patience and another phase would surely have yielded a score. His mesmerising break to set up Will Greenwood for a try against Wales in the quarter-final 20 years ago was the prime example. But his experiment of running Smith and Owen Farrell as a 10-12 axis, since abandoned by Borthwick, has not been totally wasted.
