“Bruised bae” – Marcus Smith’s girlfriend jokes about looks after bruising encounter with Fiji

During England’s World Cup quarter-final against Fiji, Marcus Smith, the England star, found himself in a challenging situation, playing fullback for only the second time in his career.

Smith’s encounter with adversity unfolded in Marseille when he suffered a high tackle from Fiji’s Vinaya Habosi, leaving him battered and bloodied.

In the first half of the Rugby World Cup quarter-final on that Sunday, Smith was actively engaged as Steve Borthwick’s team sought to advance in the tournament. Despite the severity of Habosi’s tackle, it initially escaped notice until a try disrupted the game. Upon closer inspection, it became evident that the head-first tackle had caused significant pain to the England player, resulting in his Fijian counterpart being sent to the sin bin.

Smith was then seen pleading with medical personnel to let him back on with blood around his nose, mouth, and smeared all over his white England shirt.

“He’s a big-match player,” said Quins teammate Joe Marler after the game. “He’s had that early on. Even to the point where I’ve had to turn round and say, ‘I’m going to have to say something to this guy.’

“He quickly earned the respect of the group because they know how good he is. I’m full of confidence in his ability to thrive on that stage, albeit in the 15 shirt. To have the attacking talent that he has, I’m full of confidence that he’s going to perform this weekend.”

Smith’s long-term girlfriend shared a photo on Instagram alongside Smith, captioning it as ‘my bruised bae.’
