Danny Cipriani tells England the backline they SHOULD pick to beat the Boks

#HALFBACKS:

  • 10. Marcus Smith (Harlequins)
  • 9. Ben Youngs (Leicester Tigers)

Cipriani wrote: “Give Smith free rein and let him play the way he wants to play. With Owen Farrell missing through injury, Smith can really stamp down his authority.

“If you’re prepared to run from deep and kick on the front foot then you can cause problems. If everyone is alive to it and on the same page, you can get lots of pay out of it and win the game.”
