Arundell Crowns Bath Comeback Victory At Saracens To Advance England Claims

Saracens 29-36 Bath
Champions recover from 14-0 down in bonus-point win

In the battle of the X-factor wingers with England ambitions, fleetness of foot edged out the head for heights. Henry Arundell came out on top of a captivating duel with Noah Caluori to crown a fine individual showing with a second try and finally sink Saracens. That comparisons with Bryan Habana from the Bath head coach followed is a demonstration of just how impressive Arundell’s performance was.

It may be reductive to condense such an absorbing, chaotic multifaceted contest into a singular head-to-head but the contest between Caluori and Arundell was thrilling. Saracens’ early ascendancy owed much to Caluori’s aerial skills – Owen Farrell kicked for him to chase four times in the opening eight minutes – while Bath’s revival from 14-3 down was sparked by an Arundell intercept that had Johann van Graan recalling Habana in his heyday. He finished off the decisive score four minutes from time and held up well in the face of Saracens’ aerial bombardment, with Caluori’s influencing waning in the second half.
