Marcus Smith following the footsteps of Jonny Wilkinson and George Ford secured his place in drop-goal history as he delivered a last-gasp kick to give England a stunning victory over Ireland. Smith returning from injury credited his practice and learning from Ford and England kicking coach Kevin Sinfield for the decisive drop-kick. Smith’s impressive performance coming off the bench to replace George Ford has elevated his status in the squad and poses a selection challenge for coach Steve Borthwick in the final Six Nations game against France.
Despite missing earlier matches due to injury, Smith’s impactful cameo has reinforced his importance to the team and his contributions have injected attacking intent and renewed speed in England’s play. The victory over Ireland has boosted the team’s confidence and optimism for the future.
