Eddie Jones has been urged to resist any temptation to hand Marcus Smith a first England cap during the Six Nations by the Harlequins director of rugby, John Kingston, after the teenage fly-half orchestrated his side’s 50-21 thrashing of Northampton.
The 18-year-old had a hand in five of Quins’ seven tries here on his 11th Premiership appearance, in front of the watching Jones.
And this big hit shows he has the physicality required!
