NICE, France : Coach Steve Borthwick is not generally a man to make radical decisions but England fans excited by what they saw against Chile on Saturday will probably be praying that he sticks with the experiment of playing Marcus Smith at fullback.
The clamour for Smith’s inclusion comes on the back of England’s stilted displays in their opening wins over Argentina and Japan, though ironically he probably kicked from hand more on Saturday than when operating at flyhalf. England attack coach Richard Wigglesworth said Smith had been giving the coaches"food for thought" in the buildup to the World Cup and he was at his creative best in Lille.
Arundell too has given Borthwick a decision to make, despite most of his tries being very straightforward finishes. England now have a two-week break before their final game against Samoa, and, although still not mathematically certain of progress, can safely plan for a Marseille quarter-final against Wales, Fiji or Australia.
