Smith played with the Eastern Suburbs RUFC in the 1930s and after making state representative appearance for New South Wales against Queensland, Victoria and the All Blacks he was selected as a Wallaby for the ill fated 1939 tour of Great Britain. Docking at Southhampton the day before World War II was declared, the side left England without playing a game.

The union of this ever-diverse pair!

Condemned to do the flitting of the bat.”
