Henry Pollock's second-half hat-trick for England put his name up in lights. Should it also be on the list when Steve Borthwick draws up his next starting line-up?

When Jude Bellingham scored an injury-time equaliser against Slovakia to keep England in Euro 2024, the midfielder raced towards the stands shouting that phrase in celebration. Henry Pollock chose Bellingham's more familiar outstretched-arms celebration to mark his hat-trick in England's 73-8 rout of Fiji, but there was that same feeling of inevitability. Former England wing Chris Ashton, commentating for BBC Radio 5 Live, had already predicted it. "A Pollock hat-trick would be a nice way to end this game," said Ashton on air as England prepared for a last-minute line-out just outside the Fiji 22m. Pollock duly took a Tom Curry short pop-pass at a sharp angle, whirling through some ragged Fiji defence and cantering over. If it feels like you have already seen it before it happens, it's because you have. That nose for a defensive hole? See Pollock taking a sharp inside ball off George Ford to score on his Test debut against Wales., external The gas that took him around Fiji's Salesi Rayasi for his second? Sam Prendergast choked on the same fumes when Pollock raced past him to score in Northampton's win over Leinster last year.
