Smith's carry numbers reflect a controlled, pass-first approach at fly half, yet his 395 metres across 84 carries shows he picks his moments to make ground effectively. What stands out most is his defensive output — averaging over five tackles per match across 21 games points to a ten who consistently puts his body in at the gain line rather than drifting out of contact situations. His minute tally underlines that he is a regular fixture in the matchday structure, not a fringe contributor.
Born on 9 September 1994, Chris is 31 years old, stands 183cm (6′0″) tall and weighs 91kg.
