Finn Smith deserves a shot at an international cap. He’s been phenomenal for Northampton this season, and with the Italians record in the 6N it should be a good transition into international colours for him
Fin smith no doubt. Whoever starts at fly half this tournament in every match must be a smith. If one smith is injured then the other smith plays
t has to be Ford. Smith has played about 2 minutes of rugby. Ford has lots and lots of caps. Need that experience at 10.
