Maggie Alphonsi picks her combined England/Scotland XV – and it’s controversial

4 February 2022

#HALFBACKS:

10. Marcus Smith (England)
9. Ali Price (Scotland)

Alphonsi on Smith: “This was so hard, because I absolutely love watching Finn Russell play and he seems to relish Calcutta Cup games. Smith sneaks ahead of his mate and fellow British and Irish Lions tourist because of his recent run of comeback wins.”
