I watched Quins vs. Saracens earlier in the day and even though Quins lost in the end, Smith played with flair and creativity
'You must have been watching a different game to me.
Smith was a passenger and liability from before Care’s binning to after it. He was avoiding contact and looked out of his depth.
Sure going forward he can be good but in defence he was not good. Interesting the he is often not the starter in matches.
I don’t think he is good enough to be an international on yesterday’s performance'.

What I said was he played with flair and creativity which in the main he does, I don't agree he was a passenger, he was absent on occasion but not a passenger. He is weak in defence but so is Daly. And, I wasn't talking about internationals, I will say that the apprentice player 'thing' that Jones promotes is nonsense, as typically they get pulled in to the training squad and sent back to their clubs, it disrupts the club and the player doesn't get game time.
