Picking a more adventurous fly-half opens up the chance to find a new gear in attack that is needed to match the world’s best
Picking a more adventurous fly-half opens up the chance to find a new gear in attack that’s needed to match the world’s bestteve Borthwick is not a coach who makes statements or grand gestures for the sake of it. He is always someone who leads with his actions rather than his words. But his team selection against France gives off a clear message.
That said, the hope is that we see some of the variety and skill that Smith can bring. It boils down to philosophy, and even in poor conditions that will shine through. I really want Smith’s involvement to be about freeing up this team. I played with Nick Evans, England’s attack coach, at Harlequins, and his mantra was “if it’s on, it’s on”. He was adamant that we should play to space, with ball in hand, as the first option.
