Ugo: I feel for Marcus Smith

> It’s important to depersonalise it but I’m not sure Borthwick
completely trusts Marcus’s style of play because it is in
complete conflict with how the head coach sees the game. I’ve
played with Steve, he was my captain, and Marcus’s instinctive
game is not part of Steve’s DNA. It was not how he played, not
how he coached domestically and not how he has coached at
international level. He had to pick Marcus because of how
consistently brilliant he has been for Harlequins but I suspect
that when Steve watches Fin at No 10, his heart rate drops a
little bit. He feels more comfortable.

I think everyone would enjoy me at the helm, it would be
absolute gold. Netflix series type stuff.

I think get Marcus back and lay it out for him, as 3 wins means
England have performed better than we thought, so Borethick and
co are safe for now.
If you want to show your worth, guide Quins to League and
European wins. Out perform Russell, other Smith, Ford and
Prendergast when you play against them and keep going. It might
count him out of the Lions this time but if Farrell wants to use
his attacking skills, then he'd be ok.
Tell me why a backline of Tuipulotu, Jones, Lowe, DvdM, Kinghorn
is better with the other 10s than Marcus?
