Sir Ian McGeechan ranks his 5 best wonderkids in world rugby

#1. Marcus Smith (England) – 22

McGeechan said: “Smith’s progression from Brighton College 1st XV to the Harlequins 1st XV was rapid and well-timed, with Nick Evans stepping back to coach.

“I have watched a lot of him. He never looks flustered on the ball, which is the hallmark of a great player and he has been in and around the England squad without yet being capped. But one to watch, certainly.”
