[QUOTE="Arcturus, post: 1167578, member: 85747"] Smith may very well be a better player at this point in his career relative to Farrell was at a similar age, and he could be the future for England, but we're talking about now, and since Sarries have returned to the Premiership, Farrell has come out on top (granted rugby is a team game). Farrell doesn't give you a highlights reel but in a brawl he'll be in the fight to the end which is probably why he has so much support from so many coaches and players, including - gasp - Quins players. I read earlier this week that Chris Robshaw fully supports Farrell to lead England into the next RWC; and that was someone who was Quins captain for 3 (4?) seasons whilst Smith was there. But what does Robshaw know? With that said, I do think Smith ought to be given the opportunity to further develop his game this Six Nations. Saracens do it all the time to make sure that come the end of the season you don't come unstuck. [/QUOTE]
