Only watched the last 15 minutes of the England game but was Marcus Smith injured? Dont understand why they took him off otherwise. A back should only off if playing badly or injured.

Stephen Wall Across the 3 tests against NZ England have played circa 50 mins without Marcus Smith at 10 & scored zero points. You’d think they’d at least give him the chance to close a big game out. Last test he finished at 10 was vs Ireland, which I recall went well for them 🤷‍♂️

Great game Marcus Smith was nailing everything. I think we lost the game due to his substitution and the substitutions as a whole. The finishers aren't always the best option, especially if they drop our level. #ENGvNZL

🗣️ "Smith has magically announced himself as England's incumbent 10 with that performance." 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Marcus Smith was easily the standout in our England player ratings from their loss at Twickenham. #ENGvNZL planetrugby.com/news/england-p…

Peter Jackson George Ford cost England the game with an abysmal tackle attempt and 2 failed shots at goal. A 10 pt swing. Why was Marcus Smith taken off. Borewick doesn’t have a clue.

Craig Norenbergs an astute coach will feel the momentum & should know when to keep his key players on ( Marcus Smith & his first half props ) , a rookie error is when Coach makes substitutions for substitution sakes : it’s a woke decision to be compelled to use your entire bench
