(Reuters) - England coach Eddie Jones has told young flyhalf Marcus Smith to be wary of the "flood of distractions" that could come his way as the "next big thing" and highlighted tennis player Emma Raducanu's dip in form since she shot to fame at the U.S. Open.

Raducanu gained celebrity status with her maiden Grand Slam win at Flushing Meadows, with brands lining up to offer her sponsorship deals and a host of magazines featuring her on the front cover.
