David Smith

The last twelve months have seen David's reputation soar in both the seven-a-side and full versions of the game. After playing in the Middlesex 7s at Twickenham last August David went on to play for England in the IRB Sevens tournaments in Wellington and San Diego. He also earned an England U20 call-up in the Six Nations - one of four Senior Academy players to do so - and played in the IRB U19 World Championship in Belfast, scoring against Argentina. David's season finished with a flourish at the North Walsham Sevens when he played a full part in the Senior Academy's successful defence of their crown. Mark David as one to watch in 2007/08.
