In the 2008 IRB Pacific Nations Cup Arlidge was the top points scorer with 56 for Japan, six points ahead of Callum Bruce of the New Zealand Maori.

Arlidge was included in Japan’s 2011 Rugby World Cup squad. He played in 3 of Japan’s 4 matches during the tournament, scoring 34 points, consisting of 2 tries, 3 conversions and 6 penalties.

Having qualified for Japan on residency grounds, Arlidge was named by new “Cherry Blossoms” coach and fellow New Zealander John Kirwan’s first squad. His test debut came in an emphatic 82–0 win over South Korea in Tokyo, scoring two tries and converting all of his ten conversions. Having looked a certainty for a berth in the 2007 Rugby World Cup squad, a fractured leg obtained against a Classic All Blacks side forced Arlidge onto the sidelines, until the 2008 HSBC Asian Five Nations.

Prior to leaving New Zealand, Arlidge made his New Zealand Maori debut, against a Canada All Stars side, on their 2003 North America tour.
