have to say I agree, I think Marcus is a wizard and love watching him play, but every time I see Finn play, he has the control as well as some real flair stuff to add to it, and gets his back line purring.
Especially if Mitchell starts at 9. A halfback pairing like that playing together week in week out will be quality (as long as Borthwick allows them to play the way they want)
I respectfully disagree also as a Quin - Marcus Smith was one of the best things about England during ANS, they were leading in both the NZ and Australia games when he was playing at 10. Fin Smith is an excellent excellent prospect but I don’t see why Marcus Smith should be dropped when he’s been playing well for England and we haven’t seen yet how he plays alongside Mitchell
I really like Fin Smith but he’s unproven starting at international level for the Six Nations I would stick with M Smith to start with F Smith on the bench both are good players tho
Bath supporter from the USA. Tough result for our boys, but what a great match, and congratulations to Saints on a game well played. This will be continued!
Great game with Bafta award goin to Lawrence for his fake swan dive getting Mitchell sent off.Embarrassing mate,thought you a rugby player not a ballerina😅😮
@@richie8346 I think the apology should have confirmed what he did and then apologised. "I got a bang on the head and then laughed when Mitchell got sent off. A fair yellow but I didn't need to be a dick about it".
Nice bit of respect shown to the bath kicker after the olly Lawrence penalty Well done saints fans Let the ref ref the game Saints must be saints if they’ve never done a late tackle…….. Come on Bath…………
For such a great game, it too bad to see the public whistling the kicker (Russell's penalty). Northampton is far from Perpignan or Toulon though and supposed to be better Rugby educated.
Far and away the best game of the weekend and a fantastic advert for the Prem well done both teams 🙌
What a performance by Smith. I am a Quins (and M. Smith fan) but I think Marcus might be suited to the 23 shirt whilst Finn takes 10

Reckon Finn would work in 10-12 axis like O Farrell?
Centre partnership needs new candidates: Dingwall, Lozowski, O Beard

Great highlights. Thank you for not spoiling in the tile.
Outstanding from both teams.
What a GAME!! 🔥
Amazing game to watch feel for Olly Lawrence resorting to taking out Hendy then play acting at the end. Shame.
Absolutely brilliant 👏👏
What a score by Ramm! Hard to believe there's a full 16 point gap in the league between both teams!

Fantastic game and great highlights.
Lawrance should be playing football
Bizarre behavior from him. Not sure what was going on there!
Average play acting by Lawrence!
Gutted to lose but what a cracking game
Great game with Bafta award goin to Lawrence for his fake swan dive getting Mitchell sent off.Embarrassing mate,thought you a rugby player not a ballerina😅😮
Disgusting from Lawrence. So glad Saints didn’t get robbed. Not sure how English fans could support him
"Apologies if my actions today offended anyone," said Lawrence on X. "On review, I understand the frustration voiced! I'll be better."
Only saying to try and reduce the backlash
He admitted he was wrong and apologised, respect to him for that. Hopefully he and others don’t do anything like that again. Embarrassing.

Agreed. Rugby must not resort to play acting for points like football!
Nice bit of respect shown to the bath kicker after the olly Lawrence penalty
Well done saints fans
Let the ref ref the game
Saints must be saints if they’ve never done a late
tackle……..
Come on Bath…………
матч тура! Крутейшая развязка. с Выходом Андерхила , КОМАНДА ПРИБАВИЛА, Но было поздно
how fin smith doesnt take 10 for england I don't know
Englabd seem to have some great players, so why are they so dreadful in internationals? Is it the coach?

It would've been a great shame if Saints lost this match.
Finn is a bit scary. Standard English rugby covering up a disgusting show from Lawrence
