- Marcus Smith’s rise no threat to Owen Farrell says Mark McCall
Owen Farrell’s England place is not under threat from the fast-emerging Marcus Smith, and the international careers of the Vunipola brothers and Jamie George are also far from over, according to their longtime coaching mentor at Saracens.
Mark McCall, the Saracens director of rugby, believes his star men are as hungry as ever to play at the highest level, despite an unusual summer in which Farrell was left out of the final Lions Test and Mako and Billy Vunipola, George and Ben Earl were omitted from this week’s national squad camp.
