Sir Clive Woodward believes its time top drop fly-half Marcus Smith and reinstate Owen Farrell at number 10 for England’s second test against the Wallabies.
#1. Drop Marcus Smith
Woodward wrote in his column for the Mail Online: “There is just not enough pace in this England side, which is highlighted by Owen Farrell and Courtney Lawes. Both should be in the starting team but at fly-half and second row respectively.
“Playing a mercurial fly-half such as Marcus Smith only works if you have the game plan and players around him to match. If you pick him, back him all the way.”
