[QUOTE="dirty harry, post: 1156221, member: 86934"] If Smith is named at 15 I think SB would have dropped a clanger and caved to public pressure. Fiji is the ideal opposition for Steward. They have kicked far more in this RWC than anyone expected, and have adopted a very traditional European game plan, sprinkled with ball carrying brutality and offloading flair. I expect it to rain on Smith all day if he gets a start, and I think England then give Fiji an option to control the match by keeping England in the back foot. Now I'm not saying Fiji win, but what I am saying is that if Fiji kick well, and put players under Smith Fiji get a hell of a lot of territory and ball, and when they get that they score points.
