Marcus Smith vows England will ‘leave it all out there’ against South Africa

England fly-half Marcus Smith, who has now earned 50 Test caps, says England's 36-man squad will arrive in Johannesburg on Thursday ahead of their Nations Championship opener against world champions South Africa. Smith emphasized the team's determination to make a fast start, noting England have not toured South Africa since 2018. The squad has been training in oxygen masks at Bagshot to prepare for the high-altitude conditions of the Highveld, with further games against Fiji and Argentina to follow.
