Henry Arundell will be ineligible for England until June 2026 after his contract extension with Racing 92 was confirmed.
Arundell has made a flying start to life in Paris and has signed with Stuart Lancaster’s club for another two seasons, ruling him out of Steve Borthwick’s plans. The 21-year-old’s decision to commit to Racing is a hammer blow for the Rugby Football Union, who hoped to make him the poster boy of the “hybrid” contracts that will be introduced next season.
