@Kiwiwomble the way he reacts and follows the play is phenomenal. He was doing it back in 2013 vs Ireland and fast forward 7 years he is still doing it at a high level.
You can see why Hansen and co wanted to surround him with faster players because when Smith can use his speed, it puts opposition teams under huge pressure, but if you haven’t got the pace outside him then it’s nullified somewhat.

its textbook, his eyes never leave the ball and as soon as he makes his first offload he is looking for the breakdown so he can get the ball back, you know what they say, winners always want the ball
