Fin Smith to start at No 10 with Marcus Smith at full-back‘We’re blessed with three 10s who can play to a high level’
England are poised to select both Fin Smith and Marcus Smith in the same starting team to face France in the Six Nations this weekend. The young Northampton outside-half is in line to make his first start in the No 10 jersey with the Harlequin fly-half set to be redeployed at full-back for Saturday’s game against Les Bleus at Allianz Stadium.
England will not officially unveil their lineup until Thursday but it is understood selectorial changes are on the cards following last weekend’s opening round defeat in Ireland. With Cadan Murley unavailable having suffered a foot injury, a back three reshuffle is likely to involve his Quins clubmate and good friend starting in the same role he filled in the final quarter in Dublin.
