Berliner Tageblatt - Van Graan compares Bath match-winner Arundell to Springbok great Habana

Arundell picked off an 80-metre intercept after Bath had fallen 14-0 behind in north London and then, with the scores level at 29-29, the electric flyer ran in the match-winning score four minutes from time when given sight of the try-line by England team-mate Max Ojomoh.

Van Graan worked with Habana, who scored 67 tries in 124 Tests, at the Bulls from 2005 to 2009 and the South African said that he can see similarities between the Springbok great and the 23-year-old Arundell.

"You can go and look at YouTube -- we played the Brumbies in Canberra and Bryan had this straight-line run and that's the thought that went into my head in terms of speed," Van Graan said.

"They're the two quickest players that I've coached and Bryan became one of the world's best."

He added: "Henry's got a long way to go, just game by game, but he works so hard on his game. The speed bit was there for all to see, but he was also fantastic in the air.

"We've all been so impressed since the first day he joined us: what he does off the field, his nutrition, the work in the gym, his skills extras. Where he started the season and where he is now, there have been a lot of big improvements."

Ojomoh was the match-winner in England's victory over Argentina last week.

And Sunday's appearance, albeit as a last-quarter replacement, was another indication of Ojomoh's quality as the centre looks to retain his England place for the Six Nations amid strong midfield competition.

"Max has had a great last seven days," said Van Graan. "He's a real confidence player -- that pick-up and accelerate. It then looks so easy but you've still got to put that pass right in front of Henry and he did that."
