Fly-half Smith not tempted by full-time 15 switch
Written by I Dig Sports
"It is a team sport and wherever I am needed, I'm a competitive bloke, so I will fight as hard as I can for the team.
"Sometimes that is going to be at full-back sometimes it is going to be at 10, but I am still focused on being the best fly-half I can be and kicking on in that position that I love so much, hopefully for club and country."
In the absence of the injured George Ford, Smith was preferred to Northampton rival Fin Smith as England's fly-half for the summer tour of Japan and New Zealand and says he is "desparate" to retain his starting role.
England take on New Zealand on 2 November, before Tests against Australia, South Africa and Japan.
