Smith (Harlequins) was involved in some sessions at England’s training camp in Brighton at the end of last season, as well as playing in England U20s 2017 Six Nations Grand Slam winning squad.

“He’s a good little player, takes the ball to the line, [has] a good pass selection, good running skills and [he is] a tough little guy,” said Jones.

“We need another young stand-off and we want one putting pressure on George [Ford] and Owen [Farrell]. He’s the best one we’ve seen so far.”

Due to his age and the fact that he is a relatively unknown quantity, his addition has proven quite the talking point.

However, as Jones alluded to, he’s quite the talent, as this video created by Alfie Beadle demonstrates.
