Joe Marler has backed Harlequins teammate Marcus Smith to “thrive” in England ’s Rugby World Cup quarter-final against Fiji soccer
Smith has been handed the biggest opportunity of his young career in Marseille, given only a second international start at full-back with Steve Borthwick making a significant selection call soccer
Freddie Steward had started 29 of England’s last 30 tests at the position, but Smith takes over after a series of impressive cameos at this tournament soccer
Marler has watched Smith’s development closely with both Harelquins in England, with the teenage star guiding his club to Premiership triumph in 2021 soccer
The prop believes that there has always been something different about the 24-year-old soccer

“I’m really happy for him to get his opportunity to start again in a World Cup soccer
He’ll thrive soccer
“He’s shown it off the bench, in the moments we’ve needed him and I hope he can do that from the start soccer
“He had that early on - even to the point where I turn around and say, ‘I’m going to have to say something to this guy, he’s gobbing off at me’ soccer
I’ve been here 10 years, and he’s gobbing off at me as if ‘you’ve gotta here, you’ve gotta get there,’ driving standards soccer
“Then you realise he knows what he’s talking about and the fact he had that confidence as a 17 or 18 year old, that desire to be the best and be part of the team soccer
He’s done it consistently at club level, it’s about now doing it consistently at international level and what soccer better place to do that than starting in the quarter-final soccer
”Smith’s inclusion comes not only at the expense of Steward, but also George Ford, with Owen Farrell moving to fly half and the Sale Sharks playmaker to the bench soccer

Marler sees similarities in the pair’s mentality and believes that it will stand England in good stead at the Stade Velodrome on Sunday soccer
“It took a little while [for Smith to earn my respect],” Marler explained soccer
“I thought he was a jumped up, entitled, little, private school kid and then when you realise how good he is at rugby and why he’s doing what he’s doing soccer
“He earned the respect of the rest of the group because they know how good he is, and we know how good he is as a player soccer
“His drive is infectious around the group and that’s what stands out for me soccer
It’s in a similar way to Owen - their drives to be the best raise the standards for the group or else you’ll get left behind soccer
“They have different attributes but the underlying passion and desire to a) be the best themselves and b) drive the teams to be the best is what they both want soccer

But despite concerns over ring rust, Wilder has dismissed any potential delays to a mouthwatering fight with Joshua, while current world title holders Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk prepare to face each other to become the undisputed champion soccer
Joshua also fought Helenius in his last fight in August, delivering a spectacular knockout in the seventh round, but Wilder is now in a hurry to meet ‘AJ’ in the ring soccer
Wilder said: “Everyone is looking forward to this fight, hopefully it happens soccer
I’m doing everything in my power to make it happen soccer

I’m ready to go soccer
“I heard some things from your promoter, that my last fight only lasted a short period of time and I haven’t fought in a year, he don’t know if I want to fight or not soccer
I’m letting you know, right now, right here, I’m ready to fight, get in that ring, let’s make this the best time of our lives soccer
This would be a major disaster if we didn’t get in the ring and put our stamp on history soccer
“People would think of classic and great fights, I want them to think about us as well, being able to do that, we’ve got to get in the ring soccer
“The silliest thing I’ve heard, people saying, ‘you’re not ready’ soccer
That’s the silliest thing soccer
I don’t believe that, I believe you’re ready, I hope you’re ready, I think you’re ready soccer
Let’s make this happen bro, me and you, make history happen soccer
Looking forward to seeing your response, I’ll talk to you soon soccer
