That chip and chase by Marcus Smith for his try was sublime. What a player.

[@vinniechan]

The very example of creating sth out of ntj

[@mmmbilly]

Complete filth, loved it.

[@JP1234815]

He's doing this every game too which is both exciting and answers a lot of questions regarding his temperament and ability to step up to Internationals.

[@Dinner-uo8kf]

The fact that it wasn’t even the best try was mad. Will Collier running 100+ metres was mad

[@camerongray6193]

He’s England’s Finn Russell, plays heads up and a joy to watch. Got to start the next test

[@mattwake7230]

"Oh, shut up!" Best but of commentary ever.

[@whambamthankyoumaam2441]

Smith is undeniably international standard, he's ready to play for England this World Cup cycle. He's a force of nature!

[@johnmcdonagh9336]

The thought sends a shudder down my spine, in regards to Ireland having to deal with that in the 6 Nations. But watching him do that on the International stage would be brilliant. Marcus Smith has matured so much so fast in terms of game control, and he plays the game the way you want to watch Rugby being played. He completely deserves a shot, and maybe Danny Care gets a call as well.

[@jep1912]

He was ready last year, he was ready for the Lions..... hindsight is a wonderful thing.

[@thinkbig3384]

I have been watching Smith since junior level. He is becoming an outstanding player and yes, he is more than deserving for Internationals however, what position would he play? The Farrell inside centre experiment was simply stupid and, Smith has no build to be playing there?

[@linalmeemow]

@@jep1912 Got one midweek game, put in the best 10 performance of the tour then never got played again. You've got to question the logic of the selection.

[@tangfastic7075]

Maybe Eddie Jones was right not to pick him before. If he’d been picked before then he’d get a massive fanfare and if he’d had a poor game then he could go backwards. He’s now got a lot more credit in the bank from his PL experience and is a much better player. Maybe same with Dombrandt.

[@txmcb]

not a Quins fan myself but love to see performances like this… sometimes they take a while to get started but their play is electric! can’t believe Bears were 21-0 up and then lost spectacularly… felt like i was watching the semi finals again!🤣
