Eddie Jones spotted Marcus Smith as a schoolkid in Brighton six years ago, and now will finally hand him a debut alongside seven others in a fresh England side to play the USA on Sunday.
The 22-year-old Harlequins No 10, who inspired the club’s incredible Premiership win, could be one of 12 debutants.
If they all come on, it will be the most in one England Test for 74 years — since the first match after the Second World War against Wales when 14 new men played.
