SMITHS REUNITED TO PLAY BIG HITS

STEVE BORTHWICK has got the band back together - by reuniting the Smiths.

Now he has urged them to get a tune out of England's attack this weekend. Northampton's Fin Smith will start at 10 against Fiji at Twickenham on Saturday and Harlequins' Marcus Smith returns at fullback.

Borthwick put Maro Itoje on the bench after his captain hurt his leg in Saturday's 25-7 win over Australia and did not train early this week.

Saturday will be lock Itoje's 95th England appearance, but only the third time he has been a replacement. Ellis Genge will be the starting captain.
