England head coach Steve Borthwick has received a boost as the Six Nations looms large, with a quartet of internationals back from injury this weekend.<\/p>\n
Fly-half Marcus Smith has been named in Harlequins’ starting team for their Champions Cup clash with Racing 92 in Paris, as he makes his long-awaited return.<\/p>\n
Smith is set to go up against Scotland playmaker Finn Russell in their fixture at Paris La Defense Arena in what promises to be a fascinating watch this Sunday.<\/p>\n
Borthwick will be intrigued to see how Smith hits the ground running after such a long stint out of the game due to injury, with this a tricky comeback match.<\/p>\n
He reforms the impressive 8, 9, 10 link-up with Alex Dombrandt and Danny Care, with the latter duo certainly not out of the selection race for the Six Nations.<\/p>\n
Staying with the half-backs, Borthwick will also be keeping a close eye on Raffi Quirke when he comes off the bench for Sale Sharks against Toulouse on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Quirke features for the first time since breaking his wrist against Gloucester back in November and will be desperate to put his rotten injury luck behind him.<\/p>\n
The scrum-half stocks are also bolstered by Harry Randall‘s return for Bristol Bears in their Challenge Cup clash with Zebre Parma at Stadio Sergio Lanfranchi.<\/p>\n
