2. Marcus Smith
- Age: 22
- Position: Fly-half
- Club: Harlequins
A surprise pick for the standby list is 22-year-old Quins No 10 Smith, who is uncapped but has featured in England training squads as an ‘apprentice’ in the past.
His partnership with Care at Quins has seen him flourish this season, but his selection by Gatland is a bit of a shock given the experience of players such as Johnny Sexton and George Ford at fly-half.
DID YOU KNOW? His Dad, Jeremy Smith lived in Hong Kong from 1992-97, playing for Valley and the national side at fly-half.
