#2. Marcus Smith (Harlequins)
Harlequins thrashed Exeter 40-5 to win Big Game 14 at Twickenham and move up to fifth place in the Premiership.
Marcus Smith showed why fans were delighted he was released by England as his wonderful chip over the Exeter line set Andre Esterhuizen free and he fed Murley for the opening try.
Player of the match Smith’s tactical kicking was superb and he was at the centre of much that was good about his side’s at times scintillating attacking play.
