Exiles boss urges England to make Catt call

London Irish coach Brian Smith insisted Mike Catt was the man to solve England’s problematic inside-centre position after his side’s 30-18 win over Saracens at the Madejski Stadium.

Smith opted to rest the 35-year-old World Cup winner for what was effectively a dead rubber for the Irish, who had already booked their place in the play-offs with last week’s stunning win over Wasps.
