The Rugby Union player Marcus Smith has spoken about his Catholic faith in an interview, attributing his ability to keep calm under pressure and remain grounded to his religious observance.
In an interview with The Telegraph, Smith, whose mother is from the Philippines, has said the faith played an important part in his upbringing, the early part of which was spent in Manila and then Singapore.
“My mum’s family are very religious,” explained Smith, who is widely considered to be the most talented rugby union fly-half in the country today.
