CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - British & Irish Lions assistant coach Gregor Townsend is excited to see young flyhalf Marcus Smith play in the team’s final warm-up fixture before the test series against South Africa starts next week.
The Harlequins and England number 10 only arrived in the country on Monday as injury cover for Finn Russell but will make his bow in Saturday’s game against the Stormers at the Cape Town Stadium.
