Fin Smith basically plays as a 10 and centre at the same time. He was hitting rucks left right and centre and was covering the backfield on numerous occasions too. He puts in an insane amount of work off the ball which is both a testament to him and a slight concern from a team point of view that he had to get so involved.
Absolutely, it means the forwards and the centres aren't getting there early enough and making F.Smith feel as if he needs to enter the breakdown to secure the ball. From an individual point of view it's great that he is willing and able but it means there are failings by the team which need to be addressed
