The two words Bryan Habana used to describe Henry Arundell is spot on

The 19-year-old’s performances for the Exiles this season saw him named as Premiership Rugby’s young player of the season for 2021-22.

During the last week alone he has been compared to Matt Giteau. Bryan Habana, David Campese and Jason Robinson.

“I’m guessing by the first touch he had in international rugby and the try he scored, Henry Arundell will probably be in the starting line-up this weekend because that was just absolutely insane, wow,” said Habana , who was appearing on the latest episode of RugbyPass Offload.

"“My first touch in international rugby I just had to run away from Josh Lewsey. I didn’t have to bounce two Australians, fend off James O’Connor and score a try.

"That is a little bit better than Bryan Habana. I’m extremely humbled, I’m going into the fifth decade of my life now and I’m extremely grateful that I’m still being compared to some lightning-quick youngsters with ability.". 

Sourcing several Q&A’s from down the years, including one with Canterbury NZ, here is his top five:

"He could make something happen out of nothing and was always a threat on attack. His handling skills were just sublime as well.”

"Shane is a fantastic player who has given rugby some very exciting moments and it was always a good measuring stick whenever you came up against him. If ever there was direct correlation to the phrase ‘dynamite comes in small packages’, Shane was definitively it. His fleet-footedness, pace and game changing ability made him one of the best and most exciting wings the game has ever seen."

"I was lucky to play with Bakkies for South Africa and in Toulon. However, before that he'd caught me a few times and it was like being hit by a bus. A player who carried his team on and off the field."

"It's always between him and Carter for most people, but to me Jonny is the measuring stick that all number 10s are compared too. I was very lucky to spend a few years playing with him."

"I think Richie McCaw has changed the way rugby is played.”
