ENGLAND are taking on New Zealand in the first part of two summer Tests against the All Blacks RIGHT NOW.
Marcus Smith starts despite being withdrawn due to injury during Red Rose’s 52-17 triumph over Japan last week.
The 25-year-old impressed on his start at fly-half in an eight-try thrashing in Tokyo.
It has been 21 years since England were victorious on New Zealand soil, with their last win coming in June 2003.
