"Despite none of the Springbok World Cup squad ever having
tested positive".
Clearly not the same "crop".

Jason Robinson: 1.73m/81kg
Marcus Smith: 1.75m/82kg
I don't think size is the best arbiter of FB ability.

Sure. But, like, Robinson was a full back.
If Marcus had spent his formative years playing at full back, or
defending in rugby league, then his size would probably be less
of an issue.
To take a small, creative fly half not reknowned for his
tackling, who has always played at 10, and stick him in at
fullback is not quite the same as sticking a big fly half with
experience playing in other positions there.

It would be great to see Farrell at 15 and Smith at 10

That would be worth seeing. Dallaglio was mouthing off on the
Rugby results show tonight that Farrell would start at 10 in the
6 Nations because there’s not enough time in international rugby
for Smith to do the things he does.
I had a moment of wondering if he was right, but then I
remembered that it’s Lol speaking, so it must be wrong.
