Marcus Smith has been recalled to the England squad preparing to face France this weekend after his dazzling display in Harlequins’ victory over Exeter.
Smith was dropped for England’s fallow week training camp in Brighton last week but has returned to the squad for Saturday’s Six Nations fixture against Les Bleus.
Smith is included along with the England captain Owen Farrell as well as George Ford with Steve Borthwick selecting all three of his fly-half contenders in a 36-man squad.
Farrell and Ford were part of the Brighton camp last week whereas Smith was released to Harlequins for game time, having come off the bench in England’s last two Six Nations matches against Italy and Wales.
