Henry Arundell said his record-equalling five tries for England in their 71-0 World Cup win over Chile in Pool D was "surreal".

Arundell, 20, made his first World Cup appearance as one of 12 changes to the starting England side that beat Japan.

"I finished the game and thought 'how did that happen?'," Arundell told ITV.

"A lot of those were tap-ins, so 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.

"It shows a real depth in this team and the aspirations to attack and score tries.

"I don't want to sound too cliche but it's on to the next job. We can't get ahead of ourselves and we are focusing on Samoa now. We want to win the group and the future can be whatever we want it to be."

Only New Zealand's Marc Ellis has scored more tries in a World Cup game, with six of the All Blacks' 21 in their 145-17 win over Japan in 1995.

Arundell was making only his third England start after earning his full debut in the defeat by Ireland at the end of this year's Six Nations campaign.

He was first called up to the senior England squad by Eddie Jones during last summer's tour to Australia and marked his first cap with a stunning solo try.

He shone from the bench in the Six Nations win over Italy with a powerful finish and is now in contention to start against Samoa in England's final pool game.

Another player to stand out in the thumping win over Chile was Marcus Smith, in a new role at full-back.

England opted to utilise the Harlequins fly-half's game management and distribution skills from deeper, and Arundell was full of praise for his team-mate's performance in the 15 shirt.

"Marcus is a fantastic player," he said. "You can see the game-breaking stuff he can do, whether that's at 10 or 15."

'It's giving me another perspective'

The reliable presence of Freddie Steward has been preferred at full-back in England's opening two games but Smith's two impressive tries and attacking intent against Chile could raise a question for head coach Steve Borthwick.

Smith said he had a "special feeling" making his first World Cup start.

"Whenever you get an opportunity to pull on an England shirt, it's a special feeling," he said.

"I have got really close to these boys over the last 10/11 weeks so to be able to run out with my mates in a historic [first] game with Chile was amazing and it was nice to score some tries today for the team.

"We have been working hard in the last few weeks. The boys made a good start over the first two games but it was our job to take another step forward today. We will enjoy tonight but then get back on the horse for Samoa next week."

On playing at full-back, Smith added: "I think it's giving me another perspective on the game. I understand the frustrations of the outside backs when they don't get the ball and I can see the spaces.

"When you have wingers out there that can score tries for fun it is a pleasure to play for me."
