James Haskell has highlighted Marcus Smith's profile as a mark of how far rugby has to grow and urged the game to follow the NFL model.
The Harlequins fly-half is currently the darling of English rugby having been earmarked as a future star back when he was a student at Brighton College.
Smith has started in the 10 shirt for the first two matches of the Six Nations and looks set to be a fixture for the next decade with the Red Rose.
