Smith excelled in the role against Chile.
Marcus Smith could be retained at full-back as England progress deeper into the World Cup after excelling in his first start in the position against Chile.
“Marcus has given us food for thought at full-back throughout pre-season because that’s the standard he operates at,” Wigglesworth said. “He’s definitely a viable option because he’s a top, top international, so when you have that level of ability like he’s got, executing the way he is, then he’s always a viable option.”
“Marcus is a fly-half who can play full-back and what’s so impressive about him is that he has just ripped into that role,” Wigglesworth said. “He’s not done that, he has just gone, ‘Let me make an impact on this team, on the players around me’. And he has been first class.”
