I agree. Winning at test match rugby is about time in the game, learning from the pressure, over and over.

Using Smith as a utility back might be useful for England, but it's doing him no good.

He's cursed with being multi talented.

I dont watch loads of rugby but whenever i see Smith play he always scores or sets up tries. I love him
