Marcus Smith, English rugby’s golden boy, has been dropped by Steve Borthwick and told to play for his club this weekend.
The Harlequins fly-half, given just 14 seconds off the bench in the win over Wales, was omitted from England’s training camp in his home city of Brighton.
George Ford, who only recently returned to action for his club Sale after eight months out with a ruptured Achilles, gets the nod instead as the second fly-half.
