Steve Borthwick’s triple-playmaker plan worked well against Chile as England delivered its best display at the Rugby World Cup so far in Lille.
After coming off the bench and impressing in previous matches, Smith scored two tries in the 71-0 win.“To be part of that backline today was special,” said Smith, who was playing his first game for club or country at fullback. “Those two have been really influential in my career, and to be out there at the same time was an honor.”“There are two good players on the pitch there and it is always good to have communication,” Farrell said about playing with Smith and Ford.
Although it was winger Henry Arundell who grabbed the spotlight at Stade Pierre-Mauroy with his five tries, Smith’s enthralling performance at fullback embodied England’s transformation from a timid side obsessed with kicking into a more playful team.
