The part I find equally frustrating is the oft repeated assertion that Fin Smith is definitely the better option based almost exclusively on one good cameo vs. a poor Japan team that was already beaten.It's not that I don't rate Fin Smith. It's more that the evidence to back his claim on the shirt comes primarily from his Saints performances, whereas Marcus has conclusively proved he can translate his club form to test matches against the best teams.If Marcus gets a Lions call (which he should), the Argentina tour is a great opportunity for Fin to stake a proper claim. Until then, we need to back Marcus 100%. FWIW, Borthwick has done that so far, it's more of the media touting Fin.</blockquote>
