#2. Marcus Smith – England
Age: 24
Position: Fly-half
Average rating: 5 (Mail Online)
The 24-year-old is into his second Six Nations and the same questions remain from his initial arrival to the international scene in 2021.
Can he turn the flashes of terrific talent into consistent end product?
The answer appear no closer after an underwhelming start to the 2023 campaign, one which has seen the Quins playmaker dropped for the more experienced Owen Farrell.
Playing less than a minute against Wales, and being dropped for George Ford for last weeks training camp, have summed up a miserable start to the Six Nations for Smith.
